Changing a Flat Tire

NOTE

If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a flat tire.



Steering becomes difficult.



The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.



The vehicle pulls in one direction.

If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.

WARNING

Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire:

Changing a tire is dangerous if not done
properly. The vehicle can slip off the jack
and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion of their
body under a vehicle that is supported by a
jack.

Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:

Allowing someone to remain in a vehicle
supported by a jack is dangerous. The
occupant could cause the vehicle to fall
resulting in serious injury.

NOTE

Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.

1. Park on a hard, level surface off the

right-of-way and firmly set the parking
brake.
