ACKING

 

1. Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or 

slippery areas.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK 

(P), or a manual transmission into 

REVERSE.

5. Cycle the ignition to OFF.

6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel 

diagonally opposite the jacking position. For 

example, if the driver’s front wheel is being 

changed, block the passenger’s rear wheel.

Wheel Blocked

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the vehicle 

when the vehicle is being jacked in position.

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 the danger 

of being hit when operating the jack or 

changing the wheel.

Being under a jacked-up vehicle is 

dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the 

jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. 

Never put any part of your body under a 

vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get 

under a raised vehicle, take the vehicle to a 

service center where it can be raised on a 

lift.

Never start or run the engine while the 

vehicle is on a jack.

The jack is designed to be used as a tool for 

changing tires only. The jack should not be 

used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. 

The vehicle should be jacked on a firm level 

surface only. Avoid ice 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.
