make a directional correction. The vehicle may catch strong sidewinds in the
following situations:

Dealing with a Blowout or Flat Tyre while Driving

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Sidewinds
WARNING
•
If you feel any abnormality in a tyre
while driving, immediately stop in a
safe place. If you continue to drive
on a flat tyre, undue force would be
applied to the wheel studs, possibly
causing the bolts to break and the
wheel to come off.
ADVICE
•
If a blowout or flat tyre occurs
while you are driving, calmly grip
the steering wheel and gradually
apply the brakes to decelerate.
(Hard braking would be dangerous
because it could cause the steering
wheel to be pulled to one side.)
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
change the tyre.
