Tire Change Procedure
WARNING: The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing
a flat tire in an emergency. Do not attempt
to do any other work on your vehicle when
it is supported by the jack, as your vehicle
could slip off the jack. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Only use the jack
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle.
WARNING: Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in an increased risk
of loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
WARNING: Only use the specified
jacking points. If you use any other
locations you could damage vehicle
components, such as brake lines.
WARNING: Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and your vehicle.
WARNING: Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and the ground.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change
a tire on the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road
to not obstruct the flow of traffic and avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.
Note:Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
