NOTE If the following occurs while driving, it could indicate a flat tire.
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is dangerous.
| WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire:
Changing a tire 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.

NOTE When blocking a tire, use rocks or wood blocks of sufficient size if possible to hold the tire in place.
