CONTINUED

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.

Open the trunk. Raise the trunk
floor by lifting up on the back edge.

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.

Take the tool case out of the spare
tire.

Unscrew the wing bolt and take
the spare tire out of its well.

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.
