What should I do if I encounter a flat tire or a flat tire at a high speed or in a wilderness? Presumably, many drivers have encountered these problems more or less. Many drivers have no experience in replacing spare tires, so they can only wait for the trailer or road rescue. This not only delays the time of drivers and passengers, but also increases certain road risks. In this regard, Hankook Tire will teach you the process of replacing the spare tire, grasp the key points, and you can easily handle it.
There are three important steps to replace a spare tire, as follows:
01. Place safety warning signs
If a tire has started to leak and the fault light is on, you must slow down as soon as possible and find a safe place to stop. Then turn on the double flash and pull up the handbrake at the same time, then take out the safety warning sign in the trunk and put it behind the rear of the car. Of course, the distance of the triangle warning signs is also particular. On ordinary highways, the warning signs are generally placed 50 meters behind the car; on the highway, the warning signs must be placed 150 meters behind; if it is at night or On rainy days, it will be delayed by 50 to 100 meters to ensure that the vehicles behind can be warned to slow down in advance.
02. Remove a flat tire
Find the spare tire and related installation tools. Drivers and friends here should also pay attention to that before going out, especially for long-distance driving, be sure to put jacks, wrenches, spare tires and other tools and materials in the trunk to ensure that there are tools to assist you in the event of an accident. After taking out the tools, you can start to disassemble the flat or flat tire.
When removing a flat tire, first use a wrench to remove the bolt caps on the hub, and then loosen the tire screws one by one in a diagonal order, but remember that you must not completely remove it at this time.
03. Replace spare tire
At this time, find the jack fulcrum under the chassis. The position of the fulcrum is marked on both sides of the car and is obviously raised. Jack up the car with a jack, and then put the spare tire under the chassis just in case. At this point, you can unscrew all the bolts diagonally, remove the bad tire, and replace the spare tire. Then tighten all the bolts and put down the jack, and then use a wrench to tighten all the bolts in a diagonal order, and the spare tire will be replaced.
Of course, Hankook Tire also reminds drivers that spare tires cannot be used as ordinary tires all the time, because most spare tires are essentially emergency tires, so they cannot be used for a long time. Drivers friends should replace new tires as soon as possible. , To ensure higher driving safety.
The above is about the process of replacing the spare tire. I hope it can help every driver friend.
