IF A TIRE GOES FLAT
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you
maintain your tires properly. If air goes out
of a tire, it’s much more likely
to leak out slowly. But if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a
few tips about what to expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot
off the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel firmly. Steer to maintain lane position, then gently brake
to a stop well out
of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction you’d use
in a skid. In any rear blowout,
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under
control by steering the way you want the vehicle to go.
It may be very
bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently brake
to a stop, well off
the road if possible.
If your tire goes flat, the next section shows how to use your jacking
equipment to change a flat tire safely.

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to
a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
A CAUTION:
Changing a tire can cause an injury. The vehicle can slip off the
jack and roll over you or other people. You and they could be
badly injured. Find a level place to change your tire. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
0 Put the shift lever in “P” (Park).
0 Set the parking brake firmly.
0 Turn off the engine.
To be even more sure the vehicle won’t move, you can put chocks
at the front and rear of the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the other side of the vehicle,
at the opposite end.
