Flat Tire
Changing a Flat Tire
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a flat tire.
1.
Park on a level surface off the right-of-
way and firmly set the parking brake.
•
•
Steering becomes difficult.
2.
Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in reverse (R), and turn off
the engine.
The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
•
The vehicle pulls in one direction.
3.
4.
Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
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 dangerous.
Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffic.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire
(page 7-3).
6.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the flat tire. When blocking a front
wheel, place the block in front of the
tire. When blocking a rear wheel, place
the block behind the tire.
WARNING
Jacking a Vehicle:
Changing a tire is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure
someone.
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire, and never get under a
vehicle that is supported only by a
jack.
Passenger in Vehicle Supported by a
Jack:
Allowing someone to remain in a
vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury. Never allow anyone inside a
vehicle supported by jack.
