How to Change a Flat Tire
STEP 1: Find a Level Place to Stop
You can change a tire if you’re parked on an incline, but it’s much more difficult and dangerous! So if you find yourself with a flat on a hill, drive slowly to level ground. Put the transmission into “park” (or put the gear shift into reverse if you have a manual transmission) and set the hand brake. Now you’re ready to go looking for the tools you’ll need. If in doubt, take several minutes to check your owner’s manual. If, at any point in changing a flat tire, you feel like you’re in over your head — don’t sweat it. Just grab the nearest cell phone and call for help.
