Tire Change Procedure WARNINGS
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 transmission is in park
(P). WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when changing a wheel, shift
the transmission into park (P), set the parking
brake and use an appropriate block or wheel
chock to secure the wheel diagonally
opposite to the wheel being changed. For
example, when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel chock
on the right rear wheel. No person should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack. 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. Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one provided,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications. If you are unsure if
the jack capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer. Note:
Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Note: Jack at the specified locations to avoid
damage to the vehicle.
Note: If your vehicle came equipped with an
extra full size wheel and tire assembly
(placed in the cargo area), be sure to store
the wheel and tire assembly outside of the
vehicle after delivery (livery vehicles only).

floor, you will need to unstow it to access
the spare tire.
