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

hazard warning ﬂashers.

{CAUTION:

Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle

can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you

or other people. You and they could be badly

injured or even killed. Find a level place to

change your tire. To help prevent the vehicle

from moving:

1. Set the parking brake ﬁrmly.

2. Put an automatic transaxle shift lever in

PARK (P), or shift a manual transaxle to

FIRST (1) or REVERSE (R).

CAUTION: (Continued)
