flat tire CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2019 Vehicle Warranty

•WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
personnel when 2/32 nds inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth remain, as
indicated by treadwear indicators molded into the tread grooves. Use
of worn-out tires (less than 2/32 nds of an inch remaining tread depth)
increases the probability of tire failure. In most states, it is illegal to
drive with less than 2/32 nds of an inch of remaining tread depth.
• SPEED LIMITS
Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed limits or the
maximum speeds justified by driving conditions can be dangerous.
Excessive speed creates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
• SPEED-RATED TIRES
Speed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V, W, or Z as either
part of the size designation (e.g., HR), or part of the service description
adjacent to the size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the maximum
speed capability of the tire when properly loaded and inflated.
However, even when properly loaded and inflated, driving for pro-
longed periods at high speeds can cause tire damage and possible tire
failure which could lead to an accident. Original equipment speed-
rated tires must be replaced with tires of the same or higher speed
rating if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.
Consult your Hankook dealer for the tires best suited to your vehicle
driving habit. Repairing of speed-rated tires must be done in accor-
dance with RMA repair procedures and is limited to one 1/4 diameter
repair in the tread area.
• TIRE ROTATION
Rotate your tires for longer tire life. Front and rear tires perform
different jobs and can wear differently. Consult your vehicle Owner ’s
Manual for mileage recommendations and rotation patterns.

new tires should be put on the rear. The newer tires, with deeper tread,
may provide better grip and water evacuation in wet driving condi-
tions.
2. Tire Rotations: Owners must continue to rotate tires in accordance to their vehicle owner ’s manual or every 5,000 miles. Side-to-side rota-
tion on new on rear; two-tire replacements fitments will be accept-

WARNING!
Property damage, serious personal injury or death may result if any
of the following safety precautions/recommendations are not
followed:
→Driving on any underinflated tire is dangerous and may result in
sudden tire destruction caused by excessive heat build-up. For
replacement tires, your tire retailer should provide you with the
proper inflation pressure. Otherwise, follow the air pressure
recommendation found within your vehicle’s owner manual or tire
placard in your vehicle. If your replacement tire size is different
from the original equipment tire size, ask your tire retailer for a
revised air pressure recommendation guide in order to adequately
support your vehicle’s GVWR.

KUMHO TIRES

WARNING!(Continued)
•Check the cold inflation pressure in all of your tires, including the
spare tire, at least once every week and always prior to long
distance trips. Failure to maintain the proper air inflation pressure
may result in improper vehicle handling, and may cause rapid and
irregular tire wear, reduction in tire durability, loss of vehicle
control, or sudden tire failure that may lead to property damage,
serious personal injury or death.
• Use an accurate tire gauge to check tire air pressures. Always
maintain the proper recommended air inflation pressure in all
tires. If there is an indication that one of your tires has lost four or
more pounds of air pressure, immediately look for signs of
penetration through the tire, valve leaks or wheel damage that may
account for the air loss. You should also have your tires inspected
by a tire retailer immediately.
• Air pressure should be checked when tires are cold (before they
have been driven), ideally in the early morning. Driving, regard-
less of distance, causes tires to heat up and simultaneously
increase air pressure.
• Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure for the tire.
• Never bleed air from hot tires as this may result in underinflation.
•→ Inspect your tires daily. If you notice any damage to your tires
or wheels, replace them with a spare and immediately visit any tire
retailer for advice. Driving over potholes, curbs, wood debris,
metal, etc., can damage a tire and should be safely avoided. Contact
with such hazards requires an immediate and thorough tire
inspection by your tire retailer.
• Always examine your tires for penetrations, bulges, cracks, cuts,
and abnormal wear – particularly at the tire edges – which may be
caused by, for example, vehicle misalignment or tire underinfla-
tion. Failure to properly control a vehicle when one or more tires
are underinflated may result in an accident. Use of a damaged tire
may result in rapid air loss, including sudden tire failure.
• An explosion of the tire/rim assembly may occur due to improper
mounting. Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
•→ Failure to store tires in accordance with the following recom-
mendations may result in damage to your tires, reduction in tire
durability, or sudden tire failure:

WARNING!(Continued)
•Tires should always be stored in a cool. dry, clean, indoor environ-
ment. Tires contain waxes and emollients to protect their outer
surfaces from ozone and weather cracking. As the tire rolls and
flexes, the waxes and emollients continually migrate to the tire’s
surface, replenishing this protection throughout the normal and
proper use of the tire. However, when tires sit outdoors and are
unused for an extended period of time, the tire surface becomes
dry, the tire may be susceptible to ozone and weather cracking, and
the casing becomes susceptible to flat spotting.
• Surfaces on which tires are stored must be free from grease,
gasoline, and other substances that could deteriorate the rubber.
• You should have a qualified technician check all tires where the
Kumho Tire U.S.A., Inc. warranty policy period has lapsed, even if
damage is not obvious.
•→ Do not overload your tires. Driving on any overloaded tire is
extremely dangerous and may result in an accident causing prop-
erty damage, serious personal injury or death.
• The maximum load rating marked on the sidewall of any tire is
based on the maximum speed of operation. Tires that are loaded
beyond their maximum allowable loads for a particular applica-
tion will generate increased and excessive heat that may cause
sudden tire failure leading to property damage, serious personal
injury or death.

your vehicle owner ’s manual, even though the tire has lost all air! That
means time to exit from the highway and get to a place where the tire can
be inspected, replaced, or possibly returned to service. The distance that
can safely be travelled following an air loss incident will depend upon
the conditions under which the vehicle is operating, the degree of air loss,
the extent of the damage causing the air loss, the ambient temperature,
the load, and the operating speed of the vehicle. The fewer miles you
travel after an air loss incident, the greater the likelihood that the tire can
be re-inflated (or, if punctured, repaired) and returned to service.
Pax System
The MICHELIN® PAX® System is a very sophisticated system that
includes the tire, support ring and gel, pressure sensing device, and
wheel. In the event of a loss of tire air pressure, with this system you can
still carefully maneuver the vehicle at speeds up to 55 miles per hour, for
a distance of up to 125 miles, even though a tire has lost all air! That
means time to get off the highway and get to a place where the tire can
be inspected, replaced, or possibly repaired and returned to service.
That’s peace of mind!
