Caution: Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you or other people. You and they could be badly injured or even killed. Find a level place to change your tire. To help prevent the vehicle from moving:

Set the parking brake firmly.

Put an automatic transmission shift lever in P (Park), or shift a manual transmission to 1 (First) or R (Reverse).

Turn off the engine and do not restart while the vehicle is raised.

Do not allow passengers to remain in the vehicle.

To be certain the vehicle will not move, put blocks at the front and rear of the tire farthest away from the one being changed. That would be the tire on the other side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.

When you have a flat tire, use the following example as a guide to assist you in the placement of wheel blocks.

The following information tells you how to use the jack and change a tire.
