Step 1:
Step 2:
Pull over in a safe place and turn off you car’s engine. Try to find level ground if possible.
Put on your car’s hazard lights and lay out safety triangles for better visibility to other drivers on the road.
Step 3:
Loosen the lug nuts on the tyre a little before placing the car jack under the car (as indicated in your owner’s manual)
Step 4:
Once you’ve jacked the car, be sure to work alongside the car- no part of your body should ever be underneath the car.

Step 5:
Step 6:
Remove the lug nuts and the flat tyre. Insert the spare tire.
Tighten the lug nuts a little at a time, working in a star pattern. Tighten nearly as far as they’ll go.
Step 7:
Carefully lower the jack and allow the car to rest on its tyres. Tighten the lug nuts as far as you can make them go and check the spare’s air pressure.
Step 8:
Drive slowly for a moment with your hazards on to ensure the tyre is fitted correctly, then drive carefully to your destination.

Success! You’ve changed your flat tyre! The next important step is to make an appointment to have your tyre repaired or replaced. Spare
tyres are not meant to be driven on over a certain distance and are not safe at high speeds.
As a car owner, learning simple repairs will give you the freedom to
tackle these jobs on your own. You might not want to take on a large task like windscreen repair or transmission replacement just yet,
however!
With a little practice and preparation, you’ll be changing your tyres confidently and independently.
