8.
Then
replace
the
pressure
cap.
Be
sure
the mows on the
pressure
cap
line up
like
this.
Zfa
Tire
Goes
Hat
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 fkw 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
your tire
goesflat, the
next
section
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
warning
flashers.
