WARNING: To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure to place the transmission in P (Park), 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: If the 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 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.

Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.

1. Block the diagonally opposite
wheel.

2. Loosen each wheel lug nut
one-half turn counterclockwise but
do not remove them until the wheel
is raised off the ground.

WARNING: To lessen the risk of personal injury, do not put any
part of your body under the 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.
