Changing A Tire - Ford 1996 Aspire Manual

Removing jumper cables
1. Always remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order. Remove the negative ( ) end
of the jumper cable from the metallic surface
on the engine or frame of the disabled
vehicle.
2. Remove the negative ( ) cable from the
booster battery.
3. Remove the positive (+) cable from the
booster battery.
4. Remove the other end of the positive (+)
cable from the discharged battery.
After the vehicle is started, let it idle for a while
to let the engine "relearn" its idle conditions.
Drive it around for a while with all electrical
accessories turned off to let the battery recharge.
Driveability may be deteriorated slightly until all
drive modes are "relearned." You may need to
use a battery charger to fully recharge the
battery.
If you need to replace your battery, see Battery
in the Servicing Your Vehicle chapter.

Changing a Tire

If you get a flat tire while you are driving, do
not apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease the speed. Hold the steering wheel
firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the
side of the road. Park on a level spot, turn off
the ignition, set the parking brake, and turn on
the hazard flashers.
