Changing a Flat Tire If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flashers. CAUTION: (Continued) 4. Turn off the engine. 5. Put the wheel blocks at the front and rear of the tire farthest away from the one being changed. That would be the tire on the other side of the vehicle, at the opposite end. CAUTION: Changing a tire can cause an injury. The vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over you or other people. You and they could be badly injured. Find a level place to change your tire.

If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear -- not in NEUTRAL. CAUTION: (Continued) The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and change a tire. 5-18
