Main Menu Table Of Contents Changing a Flat Tire Models without Michelin PAX System TRUNK FLOOR SPARE TIRE If you have a flat tire while driving, stop in a safe place to change it. Drive slowly along the shoulder until you get to an exit or an area to stop that is far away from the traffic lanes. The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath. Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack. TOOL CASE JACK 1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery ground. Put the transmission in Park. Apply the parking brake. If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it. 2. Turn on the hazard warning lights, and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle while you change the tire. 3. Open the trunk, and fold the trunk floor forward. 4. Take the tool case out of the spare tire. 5. Unscrew the wing bolt, and remove the spacer cone. Then take the spare tire out of its well. 436 2008 RL
