Changing A Flat Tire - Chevrolet 1998 Tracker Owner's Manual

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire
goes
flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your hazard
warning flashers.
A
CAUTION:
Changing
a
tire can cause an injury. The vehicle
can slip
off
the jack and roll over you
or
other
people. You and they could be badly injured.
Find a level place
to
change your tire. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Put an automatic transmission shift lever in
PARK (P) or shift
a
manual transmission to
FIRST (1) or REVERSE
(R).
3. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle,
be sure the transfer case is in a drive
gear
--
not in NEUTRAL (N).
4. ' h r n off the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle won't move,
you can put blocks at the front and rear of the
tire farthest away from the one being changed.
CAUTION: (Continued)
That would be the tire on the other side of the
vehicle, at the opposite end.
The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and
change a tire.
