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 at-
tempt 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 highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.
