Where to Place the Jack When Changing a Tire?

[DeLena]

When changing a tire, the jack should be placed under the chassis, near the wheel on the raised area. Steps for changing a tire: Park the vehicle in a safe location, turn on the hazard warning lights, and engage the parking brake. Place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the vehicle. Retrieve the spare tire, wrench, and jack from the vehicle. Remove the damaged tire and install the spare tire. Precautions after a tire blowout: If a tire bursts or is damaged, do not attempt to drive to a repair shop. This poses safety risks and, as the air leaks faster, can cause further damage to the entire tire. Always check the spare tire for any issues before using it. If the spare tire is defective, it is better to wait for roadside assistance rather than risk driving on it. Additionally, remember that spare tires are for emergency use only and should not be used long-term. After emergency use, replace the spare tire with a regular tire as soon as possible.
