Tire Chains
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped
with tire size 265/50R20,
use tire winter traction
devices only where legal and
only when necessary. Only
use textile traction devices,(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
such as tire snow socks,
that are the proper size for
the tires. Traction devices
must be installed only on the
tires of the drive axle. Drive
slowly and follow the
traction device
manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving too fast or spinning
the wheels can damage the
traction device.
If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blow
out while driving, especially if
the tires are maintained
properly. If air goes out of a
tire, it is much more likely to
leak out slowly. See Tires
0334 for additional
information. But if there ever
is a blowout, here are a few
tips about what to expect and
what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire
creates 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, and then gently
brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on
a curve, acts much like a skid
and may require the same
correction as used in a skid.
Stop pressing the accelerator
pedal and steer to straighten
the vehicle. It may be very
bumpy and noisy. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.
The vehicle has no spare tire,
no tire changing equipment,
and no place to store a tire.
If the vehicle has self-sealing
tires, see Self-Sealing Tires
0
336. Tread punctures
typically will not cause tires to
lose air. However, if the vehicle
does get a flat tire, there is no
spare tire, tire changing
equipment, or place to store a
tire. Contact Roadside Service
0 388 for help.
