Correct Use of the Jack When Changing Tyres

Model: Honda Civic MK 7 - Years 2001-2006
Part: Tires

Correct use of the jack when changing tyres is essential to avoid damage to the vehicle or injury to individuals. Consult the vehicle's manual to correctly identify the points where the jack should be placed for lifting the vehicle. It is also crucial to perform the tyre change operation on a perfectly flat area, ensuring that the jack's base rests on a very hard surface capable of supporting the vehicle's weight; any ground subsidence could cause the vehicle to fall, resulting in serious consequences for both the vehicle and individuals. Additionally, if the replacement operation occurs along the edge of a road, it is essential to wear a high-visibility vest to be clearly seen by passing motorists.
