382 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Preparations 1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas. 4. Turn the ignition OFF. 5. Turn on the Hazard Warning Flasher. 6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the jacking position. For example, if the right front wheel is being changed, block the left rear wheel. 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. 2. Set the parking brake. 3. Place the shift lever in PARK (automatic transmission). On 4-wheel drive vehicles, shift the transfer case to the "4L" position. NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
