Changing
a
Flat
Tire
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your
hazard warning flashers.
Changing a tire can cause an injury. The
vehicle can slip
off
the jack and roll over you
-or other people. You
and
they
could
be
badly
injured. Find a level place to change your tire.
To help prevent the vehicle from moving:
1.
Set the parking brake firmly.
2.
Put the shift lever
in
PARK
(P).
3.
Turn
off
the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle won’t
move, you can put blocks at the front and
rear of the tire farthest away from the one
being changed. That would be the tire
on the other side of the vehicle, at the
opposite end.
The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and
change a tire.
