Tire change procedure

WARNING:

When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the

transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or

slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).

WARNING:

To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you

change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in

both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and
end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.

WARNING:

Changing a tire is dangerous if not done properly. If

the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be

seriously injured. Be sure to follow the directions for changing a tire,
and never get under a vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

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.

1. Block the diagonally opposite

wheel.

2. Loosen each wheel lug nut

one-half turn counterclockwise
but do not remove them until
the wheel is raised off the
ground.
