opposite the tire you are changing.
The parking brake is on the
transmission. Therefore, the vehicle

when a rear wheel is lifted, even if
the parking brake is applied. Be sure to block both directions of the
wheel that is diagonally opposite to the wheel that is being lifted.
WARNING:If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.
2. Remove the spare tire and jack from the storage location.
3. Loosen the wheel nut by pulling up on the handle of the lug nut
wrench about one-half turn (counterclockwise). Do not remove the
wheel lug nuts until you raise the tire off the ground.
