Changing a Flat Tire
If you have a flat tire while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder
of a busy road is dangerous. Drive
slowly along the shoulder until you
get to an exit or an area to stop that
is far away from the traffic lanes.
1. Park the car on firm, level ground
away from traffic. Turn on the
hazard warning lights and turn the
ignition to LOCK (0).
2. Put the transmission in Park. Set
the parking brake.
3. Open the tailgate. Fold down the
third seat's seat-back (see page
62).
4. The tool kit and jack are stored
under the third seat armrest on
the driver's side. Remove the
armrest pad by pulling it straight
up.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
CONTINUED
The car can easily roll off the
jack, seriously injuring anyone
underneath.
Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and
never get under the car when it
is supported only by the jack.
