Short-distance driving, corrosion, and extreme hot or cold temperatures can also decrease the life of your vehicle's battery.
What should my vehicle's tire pressure be?

What do I do if I get a flat tire?
Flat tires are so inconvenient, and in some cases can pose a hazard. What should you do if you get a flat tire while driving? Slow down gradually, while keeping a good grip on your steering wheel, pull over or pull off of the road, and turn on your emergency signals. Get out when it's safe and take a look at the flat. Raise your hood to let other driver's know that you need help, then start the tire change process or call for help.
