Roadside Emergencies 3. Detach the first cable by pulling up the cap and sliding it away from the wheel. Then turn the end of the cable so it fits through the slot and remove the cable and bracket. 4. Detach the second cable by unscrewing the bolt. Tire change procedure WARNING: 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 vehicle is in P (Park). WARNING: To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions) the wheel 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. 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. Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked. 187 2010 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
