Blow outs are scary situations no matter whey occur. If your Acura suffers from an unexpected blow out, here’s how you need to react:
- Don’t panic – keep your hands fully on the wheel at all times
- Avoid braking – this can cause you to skid out of control
- Steer to the side of the road as you slow down – you need to get off the road to stay safe
- Take your foot off the gas to slow down as you pull over – brake only when below 20 MPH
- Park your vehicle and put on your parking brake, if you have one
- Turn on your emergency lights and call for help, if needed
- Check your spare tire and install it if you can – if not, wait for help to arrive
If you need help finding new tires after a blow out or need repairs to your vehicle, please call us at Bloomington Acura to get the help that you need.
