Fourth Step

• Now that the flat tyre is in the air, remove the lug nuts and place them in the upturned hub cap, or someplace easy to reach later.
• With all the lug nuts removed, pull the tyre off by pulling it toward you. It will be heavy, so be careful it doesn't fall on you.
• Put the spare tyre on, positioning it so that the holes line up with the lug bolts.
• Replace the lug nets and tighten them, turning the opposite way you did when you removed them. But don't tighten them all the way yet.
• Lower the car with the jack so that the tyre is just touching the car but not supporting the car's weight. Now tighten the lugs the rest of the way so they are at least as tight as they were when you removed them. Then lower the jack even further and remove it.
• Put the flat tyre, hubcap, jack and the lug wrench back in the trunk.
• Don't forget to remove the wheel blocks.
• Get your original tyre fixed as soon as you can. Your spare may be only good for short distances at low speeds.

Winter Car Care : Winter is a time when car troubles increase. So before the onset of this winter make sure your car is in a fit shape.

Make sure your battery and charging system are up to mark. Your mechanic should check the battery, charging system and belts.

Check the cooling system, making certain the antifreeze will protect your car to the winter temperatures you'll experience in your area. For most areas, you'll need a 50-50 mix of coolant to water.

Make sure your windshield wipers are in good shape. Winter wipers--with the rubber coverings.

Keep your gas tank close to full.

Once fog does arrive, take some extra time to make sure your car is clean and your visibility is good. Make sure every glass surface is clear and transparent.
