If you have a flat tire while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder
of a busy road is dangerous. Drive
slowly along the shoulder until you
get to an exit or an area to stop that
is far away from the traffic lanes.

Turn on the hazard warning lights
and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0). Have all the
passengers get out of the vehicle
while you change the tire.

Park the vehicle on firm, level and
non-slippery ground away from
traffic. Put the transmission in
Park. Apply the parking brake.

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.
