If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place and stopping.
Then do this:
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard
Warning Flashers on page 4-3.
2. Park your vehicle. If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, set the parking brake firmly and
put the shift lever in P (Park). See Shifting Into Park
(Automatic Transmission) on page 3-26. If your
vehicle has a manual transmission, move the shift
lever to R (Reverse) and set the parking brake
firmly. See Parking the Vehicle (Manual
Transmission) on page 3-27 for additional
information.
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Inspect the flat tire.
If the tire has been separated from the wheel, has
damaged sidewalls, or has a puncture larger than a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm), the tire is too severely damaged for
the tire sealant and compressor kit to be effective.
See Roadside Assistance Program on page 8-7.
If the tire has a puncture less than a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm)
in the tread area of the tire, see Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit (Without Selector Switch) on page 6-71
or Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit (With Selector
Switch) on page 6-80.
