Buick 2009 Enclave - Manual (Page 330)

A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid
and may require the same correction
you would use in a skid. In any
rear blowout, remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal. Get the
vehicle under control by steering the
way you want the vehicle to go. It
may be very bumpy and noisy,
but you can still steer. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road if
possible. If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place and stopping.
1. Turn on the hazard warning
flashers. See Hazard Warning
Flashers on page 3-5.
2. Park the vehicle. Set the parking
brake firmly and put the shift
lever in P (Park).
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Inspect the flat tire.
{ CAUTION
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 tire. 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 tire.
This vehicle may come with a jack
and spare tire or a tire sealant
and compressor kit. To use the jack
and spare tire, see Changing a
Flat Tire on page 5-67. To use the
tire sealant and compressor kit,
see Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit on page 5-59.
