proceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat 0 281 for more information.

If needed, finish loosening
them by hand. The nut caps
will not come off of the wheel
cover.
The edge of the wheel cover
could be sharp, so do not try to
remove the cover with your
bare hands. Do not drop the
cap or lay it face down, as it
could become scratched or
damaged.

trunk until you have the flat tire
repaired or replaced.
