Tire change procedure
WARNING:
To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then 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 opposite
wheels on the downward side of the hill.
WARNING:
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.
WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with air suspension, turn off
the air suspension system prior to jacking, hoisting or towing
your vehicle.
WARNING:
Turn off the running boards (if equipped) before
jacking or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your
hand between the extended running board and the vehicle. A moving
running board may cause injury.
