Changing a Flat Tire If you have a flat tire while driving, stop in a safe place to change it. Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is dangerous. Drive slowly along the shoulder until you get to an exit or an area to stop that is far away from the traffic lanes. HOOK TOOL KIT 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. JACK SPARE TIRE 1. Park the vehicle on firm, level ground away from traffic. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 2. Put the transmission in Park (automatic) or Reverse (manual). Apply the parking brake. Have all of the passengers get out of the vehicle while you change the tire. 3. Pull up the cargo area carpet and open the cargo area floor. To keep the cargo area floor out of the way, attach the hook to the tailgate sill as shown. 4. The tool kit is in the right cargo floor pocket. Open the cover and take out the tool kit.
