Wheel block
Flat tire
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
1363. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to keep
the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up.
When blocking the wheel, place a wheel block in front of the
front wheels or behind the rear wheels.
4. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle.Turn the nuts counterclockwise to loosen them. To get
maximum leverage, fit the wrench to the nut so that the handle
is on the right side, as shown above. Grab the wrench near the
end of the handle and pull up on the handle. Be careful that the
wrench does not slip off the nut.
Do not remove the nuts yet − just unscrew them about one−half
turn.
5. Position the jack at the jack points as shown.
Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid surface.
