Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as pos-
sible. Avoid icy or slippery areas.
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 avoid being hit when opera ting the jack or changing the wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the Electric Park Brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK (automatic transmission) or REVERSE (manual trans-
mission).
5. Turn the ignition off to the STOP/OFF position.
6. Chock both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking posi-
tion. For example, if changing the right front tire, chock the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
