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).

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.
