If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down while
driving straight ahead. Do not apply
the brakes immediately or attempt to
pull off the road as this may cause a
loss of control. When the car has
slowed to such a speed that it is safe
to do so, brake carefully and pull off
the road.
Drive off the road as
far as possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided high-
way, do not park in the median area
between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on your
emergency hazard flashers, set the
parking brake and put the transaxle
in "P".
3. Have all passengers get out of the car.
Be sure they all get out on the side of
the car that is away from traffic.
4. Change the tire following the instruc-
tions provided on the following pages.
