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 and

non-slippery ground away from

traffic. Put the transmission in

Park (automatic) or Reverse

(manual). 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 trunk. Raise the trunk

floor by lifting up on the back edge.

4. Take the tool kit out of the trunk.

5. Unscrew the wing bolt and take

the spare tire out of its well.

TIRE

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.
