What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
Changing tires
䳜 Never attempt vehicle repairs in
the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.
䳜 Always move the vehicle com
pletely off the road and onto the
shoulder before trying to change
a tire. The jack should be used on
level firm ground. If you cannot
find a firm, level place off the
road, call a towing service com
pany for assistance.
䳜 Be sure to use the correct front
and rear jacking positions on the
vehicle; never use the bumpers or
any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
䳜 The vehicle can easily roll off the
jack causing serious injury or
death.
䳜 Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
䳜 Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the jack.
䳜 Do not allow anyone to remain in
the vehicle while it is on the jack.
䳜 Make sure any children present
are in a secure place away from
the road and from the vehicle to
be raised with the jack.
Removing and storing the spare
tire
Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt
counterclockwise to remove.
Store the tire in the reverse order of
removal.
To prevent the spare tire and tools
from "rattling" while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
Ensure the spare tire retainer is
properly aligned with the center of
the spare tire to prevent the spare
tire from "rattling".
Otherwise, it may cause the spare
tire to fall off the carrier and lead to
an accident.
