3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever in PARK (automatic transmission) or REVERSE (manual transmission).
5. Turn Off the ignition.

For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle while the vehicle is being
jacked.
