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 warn-
ings 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.

WARNING!

• Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the

wheel to be raised.

• Apply the parking brake firmly and shift

an automatic transmission in PARK; a
manual transmission to REVERSE.

• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when

it is on a jack.

raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.

• Only use the jack in the positions indi-

cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.

• If working on or near a roadway, be

extremely careful of motor traffic.

flated, are securely stowed, spares must
be stowed with the valve stem facing the
ground.
