Changing a Flat Tire
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Open the hood (see page 133 ).
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.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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.
