Make sure the jack is well lubricated before using it.
1. Park on a hard, level surface off the right-of-way and
firmly set the parking brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in Park
(P), a manual transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and
turn off the engine.

4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle and away
from the vehicle and traffic.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tyre (page 7-3).

When blocking a wheel, place a tyre block both in front
and behind the tyre.
