can slip off the jack and roll over you or other
people. You and they could be badly injured.

a
level place to change your tire. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1.
Set the parking brake firmly.
2.
Put
an
automatic transmission shift lever in
PARK (P), or shift
a
manual transmission
to FIRST

or
REVERSE

3.
nrn
off
the engine.
To
be even more certain the vehicle won’t move,
you can put blocks at the front and rear
of
the
tire farthest away from the one being changed.
That would be the tire on the other side of the
vehicle, at the opposite end.
The following steps will
tell
you
how
to
