Removing a Flat Tire
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always
shift the shift lever to 1st or R position
(manual transmission vehicle) or shift
the selector lever to P position
(automatic transmission vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place
wheel blocks in the position
diagonally opposed to the jack:
Changing a flat tire without using
wheel blocks is dangerous because the
vehicle may move and fall o the jack
even with the shift lever in 1st or R
position, or the selector lever is in P
position, which could result in an
accident.
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a
wheel cover, pry
o
the wheel
cover with the beveled end of the
jack lever.
NOTE
Force the end of the jack lever
firmly between wheel and cover, or
removal will be
dicult.
