To change a flat tire on an Acura MDX, park in a safe location and turn on your hazard lights. Apply the parking brake. Get the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench. Loosen the lug nuts, lift the vehicle with the jack, remove the flat tire, and mount the spare tire. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts securely before driving.
Loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire while the vehicle is still on the ground. Use the wrench to turn the nuts counterclockwise. Elevate the Acura MDX using the jack, ensuring it is stable. Once the vehicle is securely lifted, remove the loosened lug nuts completely and then take off the flat tire.
Next, position the spare tire onto the hub. Align the holes on the spare with the wheel bolts. Hand-tighten the lug nuts onto these bolts to secure the spare. Lower the vehicle back to the ground gently. Finally, use the wrench to tighten the lug nuts fully in a star pattern to ensure equal pressure.
After replacing the tire, make sure to stow away the flat tire and tools. Regular checks can prevent issues, and knowing how to change a tire enhances driving confidence. Next, we’ll explore how to maintain your tires for optimal performance and safety.
