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, non-

slippery ground away from traffic.

Put the transmission in Reverse.

Apply the parking brake.

2. Turn on the hazard warning lights

and turn the ignition switch to

LOCK (0). Have all the

passengers get out of the car while

you change the tire.

3. Open the hatch. Raise the cargo

area floor by lifting up on the back

edge.

4. Remove the storage box from the

cargo area well.

5. Take the tool kit from the spare

tire well. Remove the jack (in the

jack cover) from the inside of the

spare tire.

6. Unscrew the wing bolt and take

the spare tire out of its well.

Taking Care of the Unexpected

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.
