Preparations For Jacking

1. Park on a firm, level surface. 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.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or a manual

transmission into REVERSE.

5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally

opposite the jacking position. For example, if the right

front wheel is being changed, block the left rear wheel.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the

vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

Jacking Instructions

WARNING!

Carefully follow these tire changing warnings 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.

Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
raised.

Apply the parking brake firmly and shift an auto-
matic transmission to PARK; a manual transmission
to REVERSE.

Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a
jack.

Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a
jack.

Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack. If
you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a
service center where it can be raised on a lift.

Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for
lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
