WARNING
Make sure the spare tire and jacking
equipment are stowed and secured in the
proper storage location.
Preparing to Change the Tire
NOTE:
To lift your vehicle by other than the
front or rear jacking points, be sure to
use only hoist adapters with a wide
contact surface.
1.
Make sure that your vehicle will not move
or roll. Put the gearshift in P (Park). Set the
parking brake and block the wheel that is
diagonally opposite the tire that you are
changing.
NOTE:
Make sure the ignition is in the OFF
position.
217
When one of the back wheels is off the ground,
the transmission alone will not prevent the
vehicle from moving or slipping off the jack,
even if the vehicle is in P (Park). To prevent the
vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then block the
wheel (both directions) that is diagonally
opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to
the tire being changed.

WARNING
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured.
2.
Get out the spare tire and jack.
The jack, jack handle and lug nut wrench are
stowed separately on the left hand wheelhouse
inner panel on standard length models. And in
the right rear storage compartment on extended
length models.

handle of the lug nut wrench about one-half
