If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you are
driving, especially if you maintain your tires properly.
If air goes out of a tire, it is much more likely to leak
out slowly. SeeTires on page 6-50for additional
information.
Your vehicle, when new, had run- at tires. This type
of tire can operate effectively with no air pressure,
so you will not need to stop on the side of the road
to change a at tire. You can just keep on driving.
The shorter the distance you drive and the slower the
speed, the greater the chance that the run- at tire
will not have to be replaced. Run- at tires perform
so well without any air that a Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) is used to alert you if a tire has lost pressure.
SeeRun-Flat Tires on page 6-56andTire Pressure
Monitor System on page 6-59.{CAUTION:
When the TIRE FLAT MAX SPD 55, REDUCED
HNDLG message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, 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. Don’t drive over 55 mph
(90 km/h) when the TIRE FLAT MAX SPD 55,
REDUCED HNDLG message is displayed.
Drive cautiously and check your tire pressures
as soon as you can.
If the TPM system detects a tire pressure below
5 psi (34 kPa), the TIRE FLAT MAX SPD 55, REDUCED
HNDLG warning message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Controls and
Displays on page 3-64andDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-67for information and details about the
DIC operation and displays.
