1 Preparation for tire replacement
•
Park the vehicle on a flat, hard surface. Pull the
parking brake all the way on. If your vehicle has
a manual transmission, place the gearshift lever
in the neutral position. If your vehicle has an
automatic transmission, place the range selec-
tor lever in the “P” position.
•
Be sure to stop the engine.
•
If you get a flat tire while on the road and need
to change it on the spot, pull up your vehicle in a
safe place where it will not block traffic, and acti-
vate your hazard warning lamps to flash and use
a red or white flag or cloth to give warning to
passing vehicles.
•
Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
•
Remove any heavy cargo from the vehicle.
•
Block the tire diagonally opposite to the tire to
be replaced with a chock.
Example:
Block the left front tire if the right rear tire is to be
replaced.
•
Prepare a replacement tire.
NOTE:
•
Your vehicle is not provided with a replacement
tire as standard equipment.
