Dealing with a Blowout or Flat Tire While Driving
WARNING
• If you feel any abnormality in a tire
while driving, immediately stop in a
safe place. If you continue to drive
on a flat tire, undue force would be
applied to the wheel bolts, possibly
causing the bolts to break and the
wheel to come off.
ADVICE
• If a blowout or flat tire occurs
while you are driving, calmly grip
the steering wheel and gradually
apply the brakes to decelerate.
(Hard braking would be dangerous
because it could cause the steering
wheel to be pulled to one side.)
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
change the tire.
