Dodge Charger: JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING / Preparations For Jacking
- Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway
as possible. Avoid icy 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.
- Place the gear selector into PARK (P).
- Turn off the ignition.
- Block both the front and rear of the wheels diagonally opposite of the jacking
position using the provided wheel chocks. For example, if changing the driver’s
front wheel, chock the passenger’s rear wheel. Place both chocks under the tires.

NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being lifted
or raised.
