Roadside Emergencies 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 and changing the wheel. Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked. If your vehicle is equipped with air suspension, refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter for instructions on turning the air suspension system off. Refer to the instruction sheet (located in the rear floor compartment behind the 3rd row seat with the jack tray tools assembly kit) for detailed tire change instructions. 1. Block the wheels (both front or both rear) on the opposite end of the vehicle from the wheel being changed. If on a grade, block both wheels on the downward side of the hill. 2. Turn off the air suspension system (if equipped - the air suspension system is controlled through the message center. Refer to Air suspension system in the Driving chapter for more information). Also, turn off the deployable running boards (if equipped). See Message center in the Instrument Cluster section. 3. Obtain the spare tire and jack tools from their storage locations. 4. Use the tip of the jack handle to remove any wheel trim. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise but do not remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground. 291 2011 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
