Changing a Flat Tire

NOTE

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

l

Steering becomes difficult.

l

The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.

l

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, and never get under a
vehicle that is supported only by a
jack:
Changing a tire is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure someone.

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 level surface off the right-of-

way and firmly set the parking brake.

2. Put a vehicle with an automatic

transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn
off the engine.

3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.

4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle

and away from the vehicle and traffic.

5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire

(page 7-3).

6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite

the flat tire. When blocking a wheel,
place a tire block both in front and
behind the tire.

NOTE

When blocking a tire, use rocks or
wood blocks of sufficient size to hold
the tire in place.
