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. Then do this:
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See
Hazard Warning Flashers on page 110.
2. Park your vehicle. If your vehicle has an
automatic transmission, set the parking
brake firmly and put the shift lever in
PARK (P). See Shifting Into Park (P)
(Automatic Transmission) on page 87.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission,
move the shift lever to REVERSE (R) and
set the parking brake firmly. See Parking
Your Vehicle (Manual Transmission) on
page 89 for additional information.
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Inspect the flat tire.
If the tire has been separated from the wheel
or has damaged sidewalls or large tears that
allow rapid air loss, call a tire repair facility. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 359.
If the flat tire is due to a slow leak caused by a
nail or other similar road hazard, the tire inflator
kit may be used to repair the damaged tire
temporarily. The kit uses a liquid tire sealant to
seal small punctures in the tread area of the tire.
After repairing a tire with the tire inflator kit,
take your vehicle to an authorized Saturn retailer
to have the tire inspected and repaired as
soon as possible. The tire sealant is a temporary
repair only. See Tire Inflator Kit on page 304.

or spare tire. The kit uses a liquid tire sealant
and air at the same time to seal small punctures
in the tread area of the tire. Be sure to read
and follow all of the tire inflator kit instructions.
The kit includes the following:
