To prevent the vehicle from

moving when you change a

tire, be sure the parking brake is

set, then block (in both

directions) the wheel that is

diagonally opposite (other side

and end of the vehicle) to the tire

being changed.

2. Turn engine off and block the diagonally opposite wheel (block not

provided).

3. Remove the jack, jack handle, lug wrench and spare tire from the

stowage locations.

4. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove any wheel trim.

5. Loosen each wheel lug nut

one-half turn counterclockwise but

do not remove them until the wheel

is raised off the ground.

When one of the rear wheels is off the ground, the transmission

alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping off the

jack, even if the transmission is in P (Park) (automatic transmission)

or R (Reverse) (manual transmission). To prevent the vehicle from

moving when you change the tire, be sure that the parking brake is set

and the diagonally opposite wheel is blocked.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be

seriously injured.
