1 Answers
If you notice a flat tire while driving, turn on your hazard lights and pull over to the side of the road to change the spare tire. After replacing the tire, control your speed and do not exceed 80 km/h. Once you find a tire shop to repair the tire, replace the spare tire with the repaired one, as spare tires are not meant for long-term use. Below are the steps for changing a tire: 1. After parking and turning off the engine, engage the handbrake; 2. Place heavy objects in front of and behind the wheel to prevent rolling, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle; 3. Use a wrench to loosen the lug nuts of the flat tire in a diagonal pattern; 4. Position the jack on the side of the flat tire and lift the vehicle to a certain height; 5. Remove the lug nuts and take off the flat tire; 6. Install the spare or new tire and tighten the lug nuts in a diagonal pattern; 7. Lower the vehicle by releasing the jack and ensure all lug nuts are securely tightened.
