What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
Changing tires
Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traf
-
fic lanes of a public road or highway.
僅 Always move the vehicle completely
off the road and onto the shoulder
before trying to change a tire. The
jack should be used on a firm level
ground. If you cannot find a firm, level
place off the road, call a towing ser

vice company for assistance.
僅 Be sure to use the correct front and
rear jacking positions on the vehicle;
never use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jack support.
僅 Do not allow anyone to remain in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
僅 Make sure any children present are in
a secure place away from the road
and from the vehicle to be raised with
the jack.
Running vehicle on jack

vehicle while the vehicle is on the jack as
this may cause the vehicle to fall off the
jack.

terclockwise.
Store the tire in the reverse order of

store them properly.
