Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the
edge of the roadway as possible. Avoid icy or slippery
areas.

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 being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Place the shift lever into PARK.

5. Turn OFF the ignition.

6.

Block the front and rear of the

wheel diagonally opposite of the jack-
ing position. For example, if changing
the right front tire, block the left rear
wheel.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the vehicle

when the vehicle is being jacked.
