242 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Tire Changing Procedure Preparation WARNING! You can be injured or killed if you try to change a wheel too close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel. • Park on a firm, level surface well off the road to provide ample work space. Put the transmission in P (Park) and stop the engine. Set the parking brake firmly and activate the hazard warning flasher. Avoid jacking up the vehicle with occupants inside. If the jack should fall, someone in the vehicle could be hurt. Instructions • Block the front and rear of the diagonally opposite tire. For example, if the right front tire is being changed, block the left rear wheel. 1. Remove the spare tire from under the cargo floor, jack and jack tools from under the left and right rear seat. 2. Loosen the lug nuts one-half turn counterclockwise. 3. Assemble the jack and jacking tools as shown. Connect jack handle driver (A) to extension (B), then to the lug wrench (C).
