1 Preparation for tire replacement

•
Park the vehicle on a flat, hard surface. Pull the
parking brake all the way on. Place the gearshift
lever in the "P" position.
•
Be sure to stop the engine.
•
If you get a flat tire while on the road and need
to change it on the spot, pull up your vehicle in a
safe place where it will not block traffic, and acti-
vate your hazard warning lamps to flash and use
a red or white flag or cloth to give warning to
passing vehicles.

Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.

Remove any heavy cargo from the vehicle.

Block the tire diagonally opposite to the tire to
be replaced with a chock.
