Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire*
If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise se verely damaged, you will need to have the

for a more permanent repair.
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking
brake.
2. Change the gear position to

outside the contact area.
•Damage has been caused by driving with the tire
