1 Answers
When you notice a flat tire while driving, turn on the hazard lights and pull over to the side of the road to replace the spare tire. After replacing the spare tire, control your speed and do not exceed 80 km/h. Find a tire shop to repair the flat tire before reinstalling it, as the spare tire is not meant for long-term use. Below are the steps for replacing a tire: 1. Park the car, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake; 2. Place heavy objects in front of and behind the wheels to prevent rolling, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the car; 3. Use a wrench to loosen the lug nuts of the tire to be replaced in a diagonal pattern; 4. Position the jack on the side of the car where the tire needs to be replaced and lift the vehicle to a certain height; 5. Remove the lug nuts and take off the flat tire; 6. Install the spare tire or a new tire and tighten the lug nuts in a diagonal pattern; 7. Lower the vehicle by releasing the jack and ensure the lug nuts are securely tightened.
