Changing a Flat Tyre
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a flat tyre.
Steering becomes difficult.
The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a flat tyre, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffic to change the tyre.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tyre:
Changing a tyre is dangerous if not done
properly. The vehicle can slip off the jack
and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion of their
body under a vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
Never allow anyone inside a 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.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
1. Park on a hard, level surface off the
right-of-way and firmly set the parking
brake.
2. Shift into Park (P) and turn off the
engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffic.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tyre
(page 7-3).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the flat tyre. When blocking a wheel,
place a tyre block both in front and
behind the tyre.
NOTE
When blocking a tyre, use rocks or
wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tyre in place.

Removing a Flat Tyre
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always shift the
selector lever to P position, apply the
parking brake, and place wheel blocks in
the position diagonally opposed to the
jack:
Changing a flat tyre without using wheel
blocks is dangerous because the vehicle
may move and fall off the jack even with
the selector lever is in P position, which
could result in an accident.
