Changing tires
 
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack 
causing serious injury or death to you or 
those nearby. Take the following safety 
precautions:
• Never place any portion of your body 
under a vehicle that is supported by a 
jack.
• NEVER attempt to change a tire in the 
lane of traffic. ALWAYS move the 
vehicle completely off the road on 
level, firm ground away from traffic 
before trying to change a tire. If you 
cannot find a level, firm place off the 
road, call a towing service for 
assistance.
• Be sure to use the jack provided with 
the vehicle.
• ALWAYS place the jack on the 
designated jacking positions on the 
vehicle and NEVER on the bumpers or 
any other part of the vehicle for jacking 
support.
• Do not start or run the engine while the 
vehicle is on the jack.
• Do not allow anyone to remain in the 
vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Keep children away from the road and 
the vehicle.
 
Follow these steps to change your 
vehicle's tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park), apply the 
parking brake, and press the Engine 
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher 
button.
