If a Tire Goes Flat

It is unusual for a tire to blowout while you are driving,

especially if you maintain your vehicle’s tires properly.

If air goes out of a tire, it is much more likely to leak out

slowly. But if you should ever have 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 out of the traffic lane.

A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a

skid and may require the same correction you would

use in a skid. In any rear blowout 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 very bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently

brake to a stop, well off the road if possible.

{ CAUTION:

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, the next part shows how to use the

jacking equipment to change a ﬂat tire safely.
