extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
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 attempt to pull off the
road as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. 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 divid-
ed highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.

If any of the loaded wheels or suspen-

vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly
under the front wheels.
