Roadside Emergencies 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. WARNING: Turn off the running boards (if equipped) before working under the vehicle, jacking, or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand in the hinge assemblies. A moving running board may cause injury. Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked. 1. Block the wheel that is diagonally opposite of the flat tire using the wheel chock provided with your vehicle. 2. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove the beauty cap by twisting the tip under the cap. On 5-passenger vehicles, the carpeted floor lid can be used as a kneeling pad. 3. Loosen each wheel lug nut by half a turn, but do not remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground. 323 2010 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
