Cadillac 2016 Escalade Owner's Manual page 310

A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and
may require the same correction as
used in a skid. Stop pressing the
accelerator pedal and steer to
straighten the vehicle. It may be
very bumpy and noisy. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.
Warning
Driving on a flat tyre will cause
permanent damage to the tyre.
Re-inflating a tyre after it has
been driven on while severely
underinflated or flat may cause a
blowout and a serious crash.
Never attempt to re-inflate a tyre
that has been driven on while
severely underinflated or flat.
Have your dealer or an authorised
tyre service centre repair or
replace the flat tyre as soon as
possible.
Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under
it to do maintenance or repairs is
dangerous without the
appropriate safety equipment and
training. If a jack is provided with
the vehicle, it is designed only for
changing a flat tyre. If it is used
for anything else, you or others
could be badly injured or killed if
the vehicle slips off the jack. If a
jack is provided with the vehicle,
only use it for changing a flat tyre.
If a tyre goes flat, avoid further tyre
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place, well off the road,
if possible. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See Hazard
Warning Flashers 0 173.
Warning
Changing a tyre can be
dangerous. The vehicle can slip
off the jack and roll over or fall

causing injury or death. Find a
level place to change the tyre.
To help prevent the vehicle from
moving:
1. Apply the parking brake
firmly.
2. Put the shift lever in
P (Park).
3. For vehicles with
four-wheel-drive with a
N (Neutral) transfer case
position, be sure the
transfer case is in a drive
gear not in N (Neutral).
4. Turn off the engine and do
not restart while the vehicle
is raised.
5. Do not allow passengers to
remain in the vehicle.
6. Place wheel chocks,
if equipped, on both sides of
the tyre at the opposite
corner of the tyre being
changed.
