Steps to fix the flat tire:

Step 1: Ensure Safety

Before beginning the process, ensure that you're parked at a safe distance from the traffic. Use your hazard lights and wheel wedges to enhance safety.

Step 2: Remove the Hubcap

If your wheel has a hubcap covering the lug nuts, it's easier to remove it before lifting the vehicle with the jack.

Step 3: Loosen the lug nuts

Use your lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts. You might need to use some force, and that's okay.

Step 4: Lift the vehicle off the ground

Place the car jack under your vehicle. Check the user manual for the correct placement. Once the jack is correctly positioned, start lifting the vehicle off the ground.

Step 5: Unbolt the lug nuts

Now that the tire is off the ground, you can complete the unbolt process that you started earlier.

Step 6: Replace the flat tire

Now remove the flat tire. Fit the spare tire onto the vehicle. Start applying the lug nuts one by one.

Step 7: Lower the vehicle

Lower the vehicle with the jack and remove the jack from under the vehicle.

Step 8: Ensure the lug nuts are tight

Ensure that the lug nuts are well tightened. You can replace the hubcap if you removed it earlier.

Step 9: Check tire pressure

Ensure the newly installed tire has sufficient air pressure.

Please remember to check your spare tire's condition frequently and have your flat tire fixed at your nearest garage.
