FORD 2014 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 340)

Tire Change Procedure
WARNING: When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent your vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in park (P).
WARNING: To help prevent your vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure to place the transmission in park (P), set
the parking brake and block (in both directions) the wheel that is
diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being
changed.
WARNING: Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported
only by a jack. If your vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone
else could be seriously injured.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of your
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.
WARNING: Always use the jack provided as original equipment
with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as
original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when it is being
jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard
flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and turn the engine off.
