  • The loud noise will surprise you but try to stay calm.
  • Always keep both hands on the steering wheel and grip firmly. This may save your life in case of a sudden rapid deflation.
  • Don’t slam the brakes, keep your foot on the gas to maintain the momentum of the vehicle.
  • Keep the direction of the car as straight as possible.
  • Brake slowly to maintain control of the vehicle and lower the speed.
  • Bring the car to a stop in a safe place.
