If a Tyre Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tyre to blow out while
driving, especially if the tyres are
maintained properly. A tyre is much more
likely to experience a slow leak. See Tyres
0 263.
In the event of a blowout, follow these tips:
.
A front tyre blowout causes the vehicle to
pull toward the side of the flat tyre. 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.
.
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.
The vehicle has no spare tyre, no tyre
changing equipment and no place to store
a tyre.
If the vehicle has self-sealing tyres, see
Self-Sealing Tyres 0 264. Tread punctures
typically will not cause tyres to lose air.
However, if the vehicle does get a flat tyre,
there is no spare tyre, tyre changing
equipment, or place to store a tyre.

Warning
Driving on a flat tyre will cause
permanent damage to the tyre.
Re-inflating a tyre 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 tyre
that has been driven on while severely
underinflated or flat. Have your Cadillac
Service Centre or an authorised tyre
service centre repair or replace the flat
tyre as soon as possible.
If a tyre goes flat, avoid further tyre and
wheel damage by driving slowly to a level
place, well off the road, if possible. Turn on
the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard
Lights 0 117.
Jump Starting
For more information about the vehicle
battery, see Battery 0 249.

another vehicle and some jumper cables to
start your vehicle. Be sure to use the
following steps to do it safely.
