But if there is ever 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.

WARNING

Driving on a flat tire will cause

permanent damage to the tire.

Re-inflating a tire after it has

been driven on while severely

underinflated or flat may cause a

blowout and a serious crash.

Never attempt to re-inflate a tire

that has been driven on while

severely underinflated or flat.

Have your dealer or an authorized

tire service center repair or

replace the flat tire as soon

as possible.

WARNING

Lifting a vehicle and getting

under it to do maintenance or

repairs is dangerous without the

appropriate safety equipment and

training. If a jack is provided with

the vehicle, it is designed only for

changing a flat tire. If it is used for

anything else, you or others could

be badly injured or killed if the

vehicle slips off the jack. If a jack

is provided with the vehicle, only

use it for changing a flat tire.

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire

and wheel damage by driving slowly

to a level place, well off the road,

if possible. Turn on the hazard

warning flashers. See Hazard

Warning Flashers on page 6‑4.
