Learning Objective
I can demonstrate the steps for safely changing a flat tire.
- 1
The first thing you should do when you realize you have a flat tire is to put both hands on the steering wheel and pull over to a safe spot.
- 2
Before jacking up the car, make sure to set the parking brake and hazards, and loosen the lug nuts while the tire still has some pressure on it.
- 3
When tightening the lug nuts, use a star pattern to ensure the wheel gets a nice even seat onto the hub of the vehicle.
