Changing a Road Wheel Procedure
WARNINGS
When one of the front 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 park
(P).
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when changing a wheel, shift
the transmission into park (P), set the parking
brake and use an appropriate block or wheel
chock to secure the wheel diagonally
opposite to the wheel being changed. For
example, when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel chock
on the right rear wheel.
Do not work on your vehicle when the
jack is the only support. If the vehicle
slips off the jack, you or someone else could
be seriously injured.
WARNINGS
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
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.
Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one provided,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications. If you are unsure if
the jack capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer.
Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and
turn the engine off. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, place the
transmission in reverse (R) after the
engine is turned off.
