11-48 Pretrip inspection and maintenance
1 Prepare for tire replacement
NOTE:
If you get a flat tire while on the road and need to
change it right away, pull the vehicle to the side of
the road as soon as it is safe to do so. Turn on the
hazard flashers and set up a reflective triangle or
flare behind the vehicle.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Set the park-
ing brake.
2. On vehicles with manual transmission, place the
shift lever in neutral.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, place
the shift selector in “P” (park).
3. Shut down the engine.
4. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
5. Chock the tire diagonally opposite to the tire to
be replaced. Set chocks fore and aft.
Example:
If the right rear tire is to be replaced, chock the
left front tire fore and aft.
6. Obtain a replacement tire.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is not provided with a replacement
tire as standard equipment.
• See the table for a list of approved tires:
2 Vehicle jacking points
2.1 Front axle
• Bottom surface of the leaf spring behind the tie
rod.
CAUTION
Apply the jack only to the designated jacking
points. Applying the jack elsewhere could dam-
age the vehicle and cause the jack to slip out of
position.
