WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a

paired or replaced immediately.

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as far
from the edge of the roadway as possible.
Avoid icy or slippery areas.
WARNING!
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 being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK (automatic
transmission) or REVERSE (manual trans-
mission).
5. Turn the ignition off to the LOCK position.
6. Chock both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite
of the jacking posi-
tion. For example, if
changing the right
front tire, chock the
left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
