Roadside emergencies CHANGING THE TIRES If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road. The temporary spare tire Your vehicle has a temporary spare tire. The temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as such. It is smaller than a regular tire and is designed for emergency use only. Vehicles with AdvanceTracT (if equipped) may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics which can be avoided by switching AdvanceTracT off. Drive cautiously and replace the temporary spare tire as soon as possible. If you use the temporary spare tire continuously or do not follow these precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose control of the vehicle, possibly injuring yourself or others. 177
