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

A rear blowout, particularly  on a curve,  acts much  like  a skid  and may 
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

First,  turn  your steering  wheel left and right.  That will clear the  area 
around  your front  wheels.  Then shift  back  and  forth between 
“R7 
(Reverse)  and a forward  gear , spinning  the wheels as little as  possible. 
Release  the accelerator  pedal  while  you shift, and press  lightly  on the 
accelerator  pedal when the transmission 
is in gear. If that  doesn’t  get you 
out  after  a 
few tries, you  may  need to be  towed  out. If  you  do need  to  be 
towed  out,  see  “Towing  Your  Cadillac”  in  the Index.
