Changing
a
Flat
Tire
If a tire
goes
flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by
driving slowly
to
a level place.
Turn
on
your
hazard
warning
flashers.
A
CAUTION:
Changing
a
tire can cause an injury. The vehicle
can slip
off
the jack and roll over you
or
other
people.
You
and they could be badly injured.
Find
a
level place
to
change your tire. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1.
Set the parking brake firmly.
2.
Put
an
automatic transmission shift lever in
PARK
(P)
or shift
a
manual transmission to
FIRST
(1)
or
REVERSE
(R).
3.
If
you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle,
be sure the transfer case
is
in a drive
gear
--
not in
NEUTRAL
(N).
4.
'hrn
off
the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle won't move,
you can put blocks at the front and rear
of
the
tire farthest
away
from the one being changed.
CAUTION: (Continued)
That would be the tire
on
the other side of the
vehicle,
at
the opposite end.
The following steps will tell
you
how
to use the jack
and
change a tire.
