Tire change procedure

1. Park on a level surface, activate
hazard flashers and set the parking
brake.

When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the transaxle
alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping off the

jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).

To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire,
be sure to place the transaxle 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.

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

2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park),
turn engine OFF, and block the
diagonally opposite wheel.
