Steps to Change a Flat Tire

1. Find a Safe Location

   • Pull over to a flat, stable surface away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights.

2. Secure the Vehicle

   • Apply the parking brake and place wheel wedges or large objects behind the tires to prevent rolling.

3. Gather Tools

   • Locate the spare tire, jack, lug wrench, and any additional tools from your vehicle's kit.

4. Loosen the Lug Nuts

   • Use the lug wrench to loosen (but not fully remove) the lug nuts while the car is still on the ground. Turn counterclockwise.

5. Lift the Vehicle with the Jack

   • Place the jack under the car's designated jack point (refer to the owner’s manual) and lift the car until the flat tire is off the ground.

6. Remove the Flat Tire

   • Fully unscrew the loosened lug nuts and pull off the flat tire. Place the nuts in a safe spot.

7. Mount the Spare Tire

   • Align the spare tire with the wheel bolts, slide it onto the hub, and hand-tighten the lug nuts.

8. Lower the Vehicle

   • Use the jack to carefully lower the vehicle until the spare tire touches the ground but is not fully supporting the car's weight.

9. Tighten the Lug Nuts

   • Fully tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure on the wheel.

10. Fully Lower the Vehicle

    • Lower the car completely and remove the jack. Double-check that the lug nuts are secure.

11. Store Tools and Flat Tire

    • Put the flat tire and tools back in the trunk.

12. Check the Spare Tire

    • Ensure the spare tire is inflated to the correct pressure before driving.
