You should only raise your vehicle with a jack properly placed
at the front or rear jacking points.
Make sure that your vehicle will not move or roll and that

the tires and jack are on a level, solid surface. Put the
gearshift lever in P (Park). Set the parking brake and block
the wheel — in both directions — that is diagonally opposite
the tire that you are changing.
When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transaxle alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving
or slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).
To prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a
tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both
directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other
side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.
On vehicles equipped with Air Suspension, turn OFF the
Air Suspension switch prior to jacking, hoisting or
towing your vehicle.
