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.

Open the hood (see page

).

Unscrew the wing bolt holding the
folding spare tire. Remove the
folding spare tire from the com-
partment. The wing bolt and wheel
may be very warm from the air
passing through the radiator. Use
a cloth or gloves (not provided) to
protect your hands when remov-
ing the spare tire.

Park the car on firm, level and
non-slippery ground away from
traffic. Put the transmission in
Park (automatic) or Reverse
(manual). Apply the parking brake.

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

The car can easily roll off the

jack, seriously injuring anyone

underneath.

Follow the directions for

changing a tire exactly, and

never get under the car when it

is supported only by the jack.
