CHANGING FLAT TIRE top

  1. Stay Safe & Pull Over – Turn on hazard lights, honk if needed, and park on flat ground to prevent further tire damage.
  2. Gather Tools – Locate the spare tire (trunk compartment or door), jack, and lug wrench (under seats or with the spare tire).
  3. Lift & Replace – Position the jack on a solid chassis point, remove the flat tire, install the spare, and tighten the lug nuts securely.
  4. Get It Checked – Visit a tire service center as soon as possible.

ENGINE OVERHEATING top

Your temperature gauge warns you of overheating, but many drivers notice it only when smoke appears.
  1. Pull over immediately – Turn on hazard lights and stop in a safe place.
  2. Turn off the engine & open the hood – Let the heat escape.
  3. Wait for the engine to cool – Do not touch it; you could get burned.
  4. Refill the radiator & coolant tank – Only add water/coolant when the engine is completely cool.
  5. Check for leaks & inspect the fan belt – If there’s a leak, call for a tow truck.
  6. Secure everything – Tighten caps and ensure there are no leaks.
  7. Test the car – If it overheats again, get a tow.
Stay ahead—regularly check coolant levels to prevent overheating!

JUMP STARTING A DEAD BATTERY top

Pushing (Manual Cars Only)
  1. Get helpers – Two or more people depending on the car’s weight.
  2. Prepare the car – Turn the key to “on”, step on the clutch, and shift to 2nd gear. Hold the clutch down.
  3. Start pushing – Once the car reaches around 7 kph, release the clutch quickly to start the engine.
  4. If it doesn’t start, push it a bit faster and try again.
Once running, drive to a service center as soon as possible to check or replace your battery! ​
A dead battery means your car won’t make any noise when you try to start it. If stuck in traffic, secure your car and ask for help. Manual cars can be pushed to a safe spot, but automatic cars must not be pushed. You have two options: Jumpstarting (A/T & Manual) or Pushing (Manual Only).
​
Jumpstarting (A/T & Manual)
  1. Ask for help – You need another car with a working battery.
  2. Position the cars properly – Park close so the batteries are near each other, and keep the good car’s engine running.
  3. Prepare the dead car – Turn the key to “on” but don’t start. Turn on headlights—if they work, try starting the car.
  4. Connect the jumper cables carefully:
    • Red to dead battery (+) → Red to good battery (+)
    • Black to good battery (-) → Black to an unpainted metal part on the dead car
    • Be cautious! Wrong connections can cause explosions.
  5. Start the dead car – If successful, keep it running for 10 minutes.
  6. Let it recharge – Avoid using lights, A/C, or the radio for at least 30 minutes.​
