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 all the
passengers get out of the car while

you change the tire.

3. Open the hatch. Pull up the floor

mat and remove the spare tire
cover.

4. Take the tool kit out of the spare

tire well.

5. Unscrew the wing bolt and take

the spare tire out of its well.

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.
