Jeep Wrangler: JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING / Preparations For Jacking
- Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of
the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
- Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Shift the automatic transmission into
PARK (P), or a manual transmission into
REVERSE (R).
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the jacking position. For
example, if the driver’s front wheel is being
changed, block the passenger’s rear wheel.
