warning CADILLAC CTS V 2007 1.G Manual PDF

Run-Flat Tires (CTS-V)
If your vehicle has run-at tires, there is no spare
tire and no tire changing equipment. Run-at
tires can operate effectively with no air pressure
for a limited distance and speed. Your vehicle also
has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) which will
alert you if there is a loss of tire pressure in any of
the tires. These tires perform so well without
any air pressure that a Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) is used to alert you when there is a low tire
condition.
{CAUTION:
When the low tire warning light is
displayed on the instrument panel cluster,
your vehicle’s handling capabilities will
be reduced during severe maneuvers.
If you drive too fast, you could lose control
of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Do not drive over 55 mph (90 km/h)
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
when the low tire warning light is
displayed. Drive cautiously and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.
SeeRun-Flat Tires (CTS-V) on page 400and
Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 405,
for additional information.
{CAUTION:
Special tools and procedures are required
to service a run-at tire. If these special
tools and procedures are not used you or
others could be injured and your vehicle
could be damaged. Always be sure the
proper tools and procedures, as described
in the service manual, are used.
To order a service manual seeService
Publications Ordering Information on page 501.

Changing a Flat Tire (CTS Only)
If a tire goes at, avoid further tire and wheel
damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on
your hazard warning ashers.
{CAUTION:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The
vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over
or fall on you or other people. You and
they could be badly injured or even killed.
Find a level place to change your tire.
To help prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake rmly.
2. Put an automatic transmission shift
lever in PARK (P), or shift a manual
transmission to FIRST (1) or
REVERSE (R).
3. Turn off the engine and do not restart
while the vehicle is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to remain in
the vehicle.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Put the wheel blocks at the front and rear of
the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the other
side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.
When you have a at tire, use the following
example as a guide to assist you in the placement
of wheel blocks.
The following information will tell you next how to
use the jack and change a tire.
