Preparations For Jacking
CAUTION!
Always lift or jack the vehicle from the correct jacking
points. Failure to follow this information could cause
damage to the vehicle or underbody components.
NOTE: To assist with changing a spare tire, the air
suspension system has a feature which allows the auto-
matic leveling to be disabled.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or
slippery surfaces.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle closest to moving traffic, pull far enough off
the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. Block both the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite of the
jacking position. For example, if
changing the right front tire, block
the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
7. For vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift® refer to
“Quadra-Lift® — If Equipped” in “Starting And Oper-
ating” for further information on disabling automatic
leveling.
