4. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or a manual transmission into REVERSE.

5. Turn the ignition to LOCK.

6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking

6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position. For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.
