Changing a Tire

If you have a flat tire while
driving, stop in a safe place to
change it. Stopping in traffic or on
the shoulder of a busy road is
dangerous. Drive slowly along the
shoulder until you get to an exit or
an area to stop that is far away
from the traffic lanes.
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and
never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by
the jack.
1. Park on a level surface and set
the parking brake firmly. Turn
on the hazard warning flasher,
and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK.
2. Set the automati c transmission
in "Park" (the manual
transmission in "Reverse")
and transfer case in gear if it
is a four-wheel drive vehicle.
3. Have your passengers get out
of the vehicle.
4. Remove the jacking tools (see
page 188) and spare tire from
their stowage areas.
