If you have a flat tire while driving,

stop in a safe place to change it.

Drive slowly along the shoulder until

you get to an exit or an area to stop

that is far away from the traffic lanes.

Park the vehicle on firm, level, and

non-slippery ground. Put the

transmission in Park. Apply the

parking brake.

Turn on the hazard warning lights,

and turn the ignition switch to the

LOCK (0) position. Have all

passengers get out of the vehicle

while you change the tire.

Open the tailgate.

Push the rear edge of the handle

to raise the handle loop and pull up

the loop to raise the cargo area

floor.

The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.

Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and
never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by the
jack.
