Roadside Emergencies 7. Position the jack according to the following guides and turn the jack handle clockwise until the wheel is completely off the ground. 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. • Front Note: Use the frame rail as the jacking location point, NOT the control arm. • Rear To lessen the risk of personal injury, do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while changing a tire. Do not start the engine when your vehicle is on the jack. The jack is only meant for changing the tire. • Never use the front or rear differential as a jacking point. 247 2006 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
