How to change a flat tire

When one of the front wheels is off the

ground, the transmission alone will not

prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping off the

jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park) (automatic

transmission) or R (Reverse) (manual

transmission).

To help prevent the vehicle from moving

when you change a tire, be sure the parking

brake is set, then block (in both directions) the

wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and

end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or

someone else could be seriously injured.

Do not attempt to change a tire on the side

of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull

far enough off the road to avoid the danger of

being hit when operating the jack or changing the

wheel.

Before changing the tire:

1. Park on a level surface.

2. Activate the hazard flashers.

3. Place the gearshift lever in P (Park) (automatic

transmission) or R (Reverse) (manual transmission).
