ROADSIDE EMERGENCY

Because of the size and weight of this vehicle
and its tires, and the possible complications
involved in tire changing, we strongly advise
obtaining professional road service to change a
flat tire whenever possible. However, if an
emergency requires you to change the tire
yourself, please exercise extreme caution and
read all tire changing information in the chassis
manual.
Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by
a jack only.
If You Get A Flat Tire
• DO NOT panic.
• Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer the
vehicle as straight as possible. Avoid quick
maneuvers. You may need to counter-steer to
compensate for "pull" created by the failed
tire.
• DO NOT stomp on the brake. This abruptly
shifts the vehicle's weight forward, making it
nose-dive and pull toward the blown-out side.
• DO NOT jerk your foot off the accelerator.
Just ease back on the accelerator slowly and
gently to continue momentum. The deflated
tire will slow the vehicle.
• If you must change lanes to get to a safe
stopping place, use your signals to warn other
motorists and change lanes smoothly and
carefully after you are certain the lane is clear.
• Let the vehicle coast to a stop, gently steering
to a safe stopping place off the traffic lanes of
the road. Do not worry about damaging the
2-10
tire or wheel rim by driving on it. A tire or
wheel replacement is cheaper than damaging
the vehicle or injuring yourself.
• When you have come to a stop, activate your
hazard flashers to warn other motorists, then
exit the vehicle carefully.
• Set out flares or other warning devices.
Check your tires for proper inflation before
each trip and at least once a month with an
accurate tire gauge.
Refer to the chassis manual provided in your
InfoCase for further information.
