Preparations For Jacking
• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Set the parking brake and shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or a manual
transmission into REVERSE.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Block both 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 Tire Changing Instructions
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of
the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from the stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while
the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension,
then to the lug wrench.
• Operate the jack from the front or the rear of the vehicle. Place the jack under the axle
tube. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
