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.

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 jacking 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.

Jacking And Changing A Tire

the center cap covers the wheel bolts, use
the wheel bolt wrench to pry the center cap
off carefully before raising the vehicle.

3. Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel

bolt wrench to loosen, but not remove,
the wheel bolts on the wheel with the flat
tire. Turn the wheel bolts counterclock-
wise one turn while the wheel is still on
the ground.
