238 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Jacking the vehicle should only be necessary in the event
that a tire has been severely damaged, and must be
replaced. (See TIREFIT Tire Repair section for a descrip-
tion of cuts and punctures that may be repairable with
TIREFIT.)
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers and park the
vehicle on a firm, level surface; avoid ice or slippery
areas.
• Firmly set the parking brake and shift the transmission
selector lever into PARK (manual transmission to
FIRST or REVERSE gear).
• Turn OFF the engine.
• Passengers must not remain in the vehicle when the
vehicle is jacked.
• Block the wheel diagonally
opposite the flat tire.
