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.
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 the shift lever
in
PARK
(P).
3.
Turn
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. 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.
