10.
Then
replace the
pressure
cap.At
any
time
during
this
procedure
if
coolant
begins
to
flow
outof the
filler
neck,
reinstall
the
pressure
cap.
Be
sure
the
arrows
on
the
pressure
cap
line
up like this.
11.
Check
the
coolant in the
recovery
tank.The level
in
the
coolant
recovery
tank
should
be
at
the
HOT
mark
when
the
engine
is hot
or
at
the
COLD
mark
when
the
engine
is
cold.
If
a
Tire
Gu&
Flat
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
firmly.
Steer to
maintain
lane
position,
then
gently
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
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
part
shows
how
to
use
your
jacking equipment
to
change
a
flat tire
safely.
