If
a
Tire
Goes
Flat
Changing
a
Flat
Tire
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving,
especially if you maintain your tires properly. If air goes
out
of
a tire, it’s 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’d 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.
If
a
tire goes flat, the next part shows how to use your
jacking equipment to change a flat tire safely.
If
a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your hazard
w--+q- ‘?ashers.
I
Changing
a
tire can cause an injury. The vehicle
can slip
off
the jack and roll over you or other
people. You and they could be badly injured.
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).
3.
nrn
off
the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle won’t move,
you can put blocks
at
the front and rear
of
the
tire farthest away from the one being changed.
That would be the tire on the other side
of
the
vehicle,
at
the opposite end.
