Preparations For Jacking
CAUTION!
Always lift or jack the vehicle from the correct jacking points. Failure to follow this
information could cause damage to the vehicle or underbody components.
NOTE:
To assist with changing a spare tire, the air suspension system (if equipped) has a
feature which allows the automatic leveling to be disabled.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery surfaces.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle closest 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. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the gear selector into PARK.
5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position. For example, if changing the
right front tire, block the left rear
wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being
jacked.
7. For vehicles equipped with Quadra- Lift, refer to “Quadra-Lift — If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operat-
ing” in the Owners Manual on the DVD
for further information on disabling
automatic leveling.
