Roadside Emergencies WARNING: 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. Refer to the instruction sheet (located with the jack) for detailed tire change instructions. 1. Block the diagonally opposite wheel. 2. Obtain the spare tire and jack from their storage locations. 3. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove any wheel trim. 4. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise but do not remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground. 5. Position the jack according to the following guides and turn the jack handle clockwise until the wheel is completely off the ground. WARNING: 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). 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, someone could be seriously injured. 327 2009 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide (own2002), 3rd Printing USA (fus)
