WARNINGS
If your vehicle slips off the jack, you
or someone else could be seriously
injured.
Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
To lessen the risk of personal injury,
do not put any part of your body
under your vehicle while changing a
tire. Do not start the engine when your
vehicle is on the jack. The jack is only
meant for changing the tire.
Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission selector lever
in position P and turn the engine off.

4. Remove the wing nut that secures the
spare tire by turning it
