SD060A1-E If a puncture occurs whilst driving the vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is
safe to do so and with the minimum amount of braking required which will assist in maintaining the maximum amount of control. The vehicle shouldbe parked wherever possible upon firm level ground to facilitate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit thewheel to be changed safely, assis-tance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to
remain inside the vehicle during wheelchanging. If a puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on a motorway, the passengers should take refuge onthe motorway embankment to avoid the possibility of injury occurring should the vehicle be struck by othermotorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be performed
according to the following instruc-tions.
1. Wrap a piece of cloth around the tipof the screwdriver to avoid scratch- ing.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the groove
