E162799 Tire Change Procedure WARNINGS 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 transmission is in park (P). To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be sure to place the transmission in park (P), set the parking brake and block (in both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed. Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be seriously injured. 2. Fully insert the jack handle (with one extension) through the bumper hole and into the guide tube. The key and lock will engage with a slight push and counterclockwise turn. You will feel some resistance when you turn the jack handle assembly. 3. Turn the handle counterclockwise and lower the spare tire until you can slide the tire rearward and the cable is slack. 4. Remove the retainer through the center of the wheel. If your vehicle is equipped with a tether, perform the following steps. 290 Super Duty (), enUSA
