Changing a Tire/Wheel assembly

WARNING
If you have a flat tire while driving your vehicle, it is highly recommended that you slowly
and carefully drive the vehicle off of any main road or highway before attempting to
change the tire. Attempting to change a tire on a main road or highway exposes you to
extreme danger of being run over by other vehicles.
WARNING
1) Park the vehicle on a hard level surface off of any main road or highway.
2) Make sure the Start switch is in the OFF position, then remove the key.

4) Set the park brake.
5) Block the wheels on the opposite side of the tire to be changed.
WARNING
When lifting the vehicle, always use a hoist with lifting strap, or a jack of adequate
capacity. Use jack stands to support the vehicle before starting any repairs. Failure to
use lifting and support devices of rated load capacity may result in severe bodily injury.
Note: A spare tire, jack, or lug wrench is not attached to the vehicle.
