It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you
maintain your tires properly. If
air goes out of a tire, it’s much more 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 tire fails, 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 firrnly. Steer to maintain lane position, then g\
ently brake to a
stop well out of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid \
and may
require the same correction you’d use in a skid.
In any rear blowout, remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under co\
ntrol 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 part shows how to use your jacking equipment to
change a flat tire safely.
Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a
level place. Turn on your hazard waming flashers.

Return the jack, wheel wrench and wheel blocks to the proper location
behind the seat. Secure the items
and replace the jack cover.
NOTICE:
Don’t use the existing hoist to store a tire with an aluminum
wheel or it could damage the wheel. Secure the tire in the pickup
bed.
If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your
wheels. The method
known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re
stuck, but
you must use caution.
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well as
the tires.
If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your
transmission back and forth, you can destroy your transmission.
