Steps to change a flat tire
Step 1: Park your car and engage the emergency parking brake. We do not want the car to roll away when we get it off the jack.
Step 2: Pop the trunk and locate the spare tire and the tool kit from under the trunk cover.
Step 3: Unscrew the jack and the spare tire in a counterclockwise motion and slowly roll the spare tire towards the side of the flat tire.
Step 4: Slightly loosen the nuts using the lug wrench. Use the jack to raise the car. The jack should be placed in the correct notch under the car for safety reasons.
Step 5: Raise until the tire just lifts the ground, then loosen the nuts all the way and slowly roll the tire away.
Step 6: Place the spare tire in position and tighten the lug nuts. Lower the jack till the tire hits the ground.
Step 7: Ensure the lug nuts are tight. Check whether the air pressure in the tire is correct and then replace the flat tire, jack, and the tools under the trunk cover.
