ADVICE
If the vehicle catches a sidewind and drifts sideways, firmly grip the steering
wheel, decelerate to a speed that allows you to stay completely in control and
make a directional correction. The vehicle may catch strong sidewinds in the
following situations:
emerging from a tunnel; driving over a bridge, driving on an embankment or
driving through a cutting
being overtaken by a large truck or bus
overtaking a large truck or bus

Dealing with a Blowout or Flat Tire While Driving
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.
•
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.
