r IF A TIREGOES FLAT It's unusual for a tire to"blow out" while you're driving, especially you if maintain your tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it's muchmore 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 tirefails, 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 tomaintain lane position, then gently brake to a stop well out of the traffic lane. A rear blowout, particularlyon a curve, acts much like skid and may a require the same correction you'd use in a skid. In any rear blowout, remove yourfoot 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 section shows howto use your jacking equipment to change a flat tire safely. 231
