- Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.

the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

- Apply the parking brake.
- Shift the automatic transmission into
PARK (P), or a manual transmission into
REVERSE (R).

example, if the driver’s front wheel is being
changed, block the passenger’s rear wheel.
