If you have a flat tire while driving
1
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the vehicle slow down while driving straight ahead.
Do not immediately apply the brakes or attempt to pull off the road as this may cause a loss of control.
2
When the vehicle has slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do so, brake carefully and pull off the road.
3
Drive off the road as far as possible and park on firm level ground.
If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median area between the two traffic lanes.
4
When the vehicle is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flashers, set the parking brake and put the transmission in P (Park).
5
Have all passengers exit the vehicle. Be sure they all exit on the side of the vehicle that is away from traffic.
6
When changing a flat tire, follow the instruction provided later in this section.
NOTICE
If there was a check engine light and loss of power or stall and if safe to do so, wait at least 10 seconds to restart the vehicle after it stalls. This may reset the car so it will no longer run at low power (limp home) condition.
