Never stop your vehicle in a traffic lane to change a tire. Keep driving until you
reach a safe location.
The jack provided along with the vehicle is to be used only for changing a spare tire. It
is never to be used to perform any other maintenance or repair on the vehicle.
Never place any part of your body under any portion of the vehicle when it is
supported only by the jack. You could be crushed by the vehicle if it falls off a
jack. Keep by-stander’s away from the vehicle.
Find level, solid ground that is clear of oncoming traffic. If you cannot find a safe place
to stop, it is better to drive on a flat tire and damage the rim than it is to risk being
hit by oncoming traffic.
After changing a flat tire, never store the tire or other equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle. This loose equipment could strike an occupant in the
event of a sudden stop or collision. Store all of these items in the proper place.
The following sections outline the procedure for changing a flat tire;
