Changing a Flat Tire
(V6 Engine)
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the
hazard warning flashers.
{ CAUTION
Changing a tire can be
dangerous. The vehicle can slip
off the jack and roll over or fall
on you or other people. You
and they could be badly injured
or even killed. Find a level
place to change your tire. To
help prevent the vehicle from
moving:
1. Set the parking brake
firmly.
2. Put the shift lever in
PARK (P).

CAUTION (Continued)
3. Turn off the engine and do
not restart while the
vehicle is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to
remain in the vehicle.
To be certain the vehicle will
not move, put blocks at the
front and rear of the tire
farthest away from the one
being changed. That would be
the tire on the other side, at the
opposite end of the vehicle.
When you have a flat tire, use the
following example as a guide to
assist you in the placement of wheel
blocks.
