Tire change procedure

WARNING: When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park)
(automatic transmission) or R (Reverse) (manual transmission).

WARNING: To help 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.

WARNING: If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone
else could be seriously injured.

1. Park on a level surface, activate

hazard flashers and place
gearshift lever in P (Park)
(automatic transmission) or 1
(First) (manual transmission).

2. Set the parking brake and turn

engine OFF.
