Changing wheels
Move vehicle to a level area which is a safe distance 
from the roadway.
1. Set parking brake and turn on hazard warning 
flasher.
2. Move selector lever to position “P” and turn off 
engine (manual transmission to 1st or reverse gear).
3. Prevent vehicle from rolling away by blocking 
wheels with wheel chocks (not supplied with 
vehicle) or sizable wood block or stone. When 
changing a wheel on a hill, place chocks on the 
downhill side blocking both wheels of the other 
axle. On an level road, place one chock in front of 
and one behind the wheel that is diagonally 
opposite to the wheel being changed.
Warning!
The jack is designed exclusively for jacking up the 
vehicle at the jack take-up brackets built into either 
side of the vehicle. To help avoid personal injury, 
use the jack only to lift the vehicle during a wheel 
change. Never get beneath the vehicle while it is 
supported by the jack. Keep hands and feet away 
from the area under the lifted vehicle. Always 
firmly set parking brake and block wheels before 
raising vehicle with jack.
Do not disengage parking brake while the vehicle is 
raised. Be certain that the jack is always vertical 
when in use, especially on hills. Always try to use 
the jack on level surface. Be sure that the jack arm 
is fully seated in the jack take-up bracket. Always 
lower the vehicle onto sufficient capacity 
jackstands before working under the vehicle.
