6-2. Flat Tire
Changing a Flat Tire
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off
the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is danger-
ous.
1
Park on a level surface off the right-of-way and firmly set the park-
ing brake.
2
Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn off the engine.
3
Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4
Have everyone get out of the vehicle and away from the vehicle
and traffic.
5
Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire (P. 507).
6
Block the wheel diagonally
opposite the flat tire. When
blocking a wheel, place a tire
block both in front and behind
the tire.
●
If the following occurs while driving, it could indicate a flat tire.
• Steering becomes difficult.
• The vehicle begins to vibrate excessively.
• The vehicle pulls in one direction.
●
Make sure the jack is well lubricated before using it.
●
When blocking a tire, use rocks or wood blocks of sufficient size if possi-
ble to hold the tire in place.
