How to change a flat tire

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.

3. Place the gearshift lever in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or
R (Reverse) (manual transmission).

4. Set the parking brake.

5. Turn off the ignition.

To change the tire:

Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.

1. Block both the front and rear of
the wheel diagonally opposite the
flat tire. For example, if the left
front tire is flat, block the right rear
wheel.
