How to change a flat tire

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS), the system indicator light will illuminate when the spare
is in use. To restore the full functionality of the TPMS system, all road
wheels equipped with the tire pressure monitoring sensors must be
mounted on the vehicle.

If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, have a flat tire serviced by an
authorized dealer in order to prevent damage to the TPMS sensor, refer
to Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in the Tires, Wheels and
Loading
chapter. Replace the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible.

To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire,
be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions)

the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the
vehicle) to the tire being changed.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.

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 the

danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.

Before changing the tire:

1. Park on a level surface.

2. Activate the hazard flashers.
