Flat tires
WARNING
D Do not jack up the vehicle on an incline or a loose road sur-
face. The jack can come out of the jacking point or sink into the
ground and this can result in a severe accident.
D Use only the jack provided with your vehicle. The jack sup-
plied with the vehicle is designed only for changing a tire. Never
get under the vehicle while supporting the vehicle with this jack.
D Always turn the engine off before raising the flat tire off the
ground using the jack. Never swing or push the vehicle sup-
ported with the jack. The jack can come out of the jacking point
due to a jolt and this can result in a severe accident.
If you have a flat tire while driving, never brake suddenly; keep driving
straight ahead while gradually reducing speed. Then slowly pull off the
road to a safe place.
J Changing a flat tire
WARNING
D Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts when the
spare tire is installed. This could cause the nuts to become loose
and lead to an accident.
D Never place a tire or tire changing tools in the passenger
compartment after changing wheels. In a sudden stop or colli-
sions, loose equipment could strike occupants and cause injury.
Store the tire and all tools in the proper place.
1. Park on a hard, level surface, whenever possible, then stop the engine.
2. Set the parking brake securely and shift a manual transmission ve-
hicle in reverse or an automatic transmission vehicle in the “P” (Park)
position.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher and have everyone get out of the
vehicle.
