the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.

4. Place the shift lever into PARK (automatic transmis-
sion) or 1st gear (manual transmission).
5. Turn OFF the ignition.

opposite of the jacking position. For
example, if changing the right front
tire, block the left rear wheel.
