5 Simple Steps: How to Change a Flat Tyre
When your car tire goes flat, here's how to fix it!
First, stop in a safe spot.
Next, loosen the nuts that hold the wheel on, but don't take them off yet.
Then, use the jack to lift your car, making sure the car is in park or gear and the handbrake is on.
Carefully take off the flat tire and put the spare on, then tighten the nuts.
Lower the car, and tighten the nuts again to make sure the wheel is secure.
Now you are ready to go!
Park in a safe location away from traffic and on level ground.
Loosen the wheel nuts with a wheel spanner before jacking the car, using a diagonal pattern.
Refer to the owner's manual to locate the jacking points and use the jack correctly.
Remove the flat tyre after jacking up the car and replace it with the spare.
Secure the spare wheel by tightening the wheel nuts in a diagonal pattern.
