1. Park on a hard, level surface off theright-of-way and firmly set the
parking brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transmission in Park (P), a manual
transmission in Reverse (R) or 1,
and turn off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Have passengers get out of the vehicle and away from the vehicle
and traffic.
5. Remove any luggage, the jack, tools, and spare tire (page 7-3).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire. When
blocking a wheel, place a tire block
both in front and behind the tire.
NOTE
When blocking a tire, use rocks or
wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tire in place.
▼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 off 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 off 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 difficult.
