Find a safe place to change your tire
Engage your handbrake and turn on your hazard lights
Get all the things you need to change your tire and put it within easy reach near the flat tire
Loosen the nuts on the flat tire with out removing them (about ½ turn)
Find a flat, hard surface under the suspension or the chassis where you can put the jack
(You should know your jacking points. Check your manual)
Jack up the car until it is high enough for you to put in the reserve tire
Remove all the nuts and remove the flat tire
Put the flat tire under the car
Replace it with the reserve tire
Tighten the nuts as far it is allowed without exerting much effort
Tighten it in an “x” (wheels with 4 nuts) or star (wheels with 5 nuts) pattern

Tighten the nuts, this time make it as tight as possible
Before you drive off, make sure your jack, tire and all other tools have been returned into your trunk compartment
