If traction devices are used,
install them on the tires of
the drive axle only.
If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blow
out while driving, especially if
the tires are maintained
properly. If air goes out of a
tire, it is much more likely to
leak out slowly. See Tires
0 418 for additional
information. But if there ever
is a blowout, here are a few
tips about what to expect and
what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire
creates a drag that pulls the
vehicle toward that side. 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, well off the
road, if possible.
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, well off the road,
if possible.
The vehicle has no spare tire,
no tire changing equipment,
and no place to store a tire.
If the vehicle has run-flat tires,
there is no need to stop on
the side of the road to change
a flat tire. See Run-Flat Tires
0 420.
If the vehicle has self-sealing
tires, see Self-Sealing Tires
0 420. Tread punctures
typically will not cause tires to
lose air. However, if the vehicle
does get a flat tire, there is no
spare tire, tire changing
equipment, or place to store a
tire. Contact Roadside
Assistance for help.

Warning
Driving on a flat tire will
cause permanent damage to
the tire. Re-inflating a tire
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 tire
that has been driven on
while severely underinflated
or flat. Have your dealer or
an authorized tire service
center repair or replace the
flat tire as soon as possible.
{
Warning
Special tools and
procedures are required to
service a run-flat tire.
If these special tools and
procedures are not used,
injury or vehicle damage may
occur. Always be sure the
proper tools and
