Run-Flat Tires (CTS-V)
If your vehicle has run-flat tires, there is no spare tire
and no tire changing equipment. Run-flat 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) when the low tire warning
light is displayed. Drive cautiously and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.
See Run-Flat Tires (CTS-V) on page 5-64 and Tire
Pressure Monitor System on page 5-68 , for additional
information.
{
CAUTION:
Special tools and procedures are required to
service a run-flat 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.
