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.

Block the front and rear of the wheel diago-
nally 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
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and lug

wrench.

2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where

the center cap covers the lug nuts, use
the lug wrench to pry the center cap off
carefully before raising the vehicle.

3. Before raising the vehicle, use the lug

wrench to loosen, but not remove, the lug
nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn
the lug nuts counterclockwise one turn
while the wheel is still on the ground.

4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw

clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
