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 will create 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. The jack provided with your

vehicle 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. Use the

jack provided with your vehicle only 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.

Changing a Flat Tire

If a tire goes ﬂat, avoid further tire and wheel

damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on

your vehicle’s hazard warning ﬂashers. See Hazard

Warning Flashers on page 150 for more information.
