WHAT TO DO IN THE FOLLOWING
CIRCUMSTANCES
Lost Keys
Use your spare key to have another
one made by an authorized Can-Am
roadster dealer as soon as possible.
If
both keys are lost , the ignition switch
and the fuel cap will need to be re-
placed at the expense of the vehicle
owner.
Flat Tire
If a tire has a major puncture or cut in
the tread and is completely deflated,
have the vehicle transported to the
nearest Can-Am Spyder dealer. Refer
to
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE in
this section for transporting instruc-
tions.
If a tire has a minor nail or stone punc-
ture and is not completely deflated,
the tire can be temporarily repaired. To
temporarily repair a tire, a self-inflating
tire sealer or tire plug repair kit can
be used. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions that come with the tire
sealer or repair kit and have the tire
repaired or replaced by an authorized
Can-Am roadster dealer
as soon as
possible .
When a tire is temporarily repaired,
ride slowly and carefully, and fre-
quently check tire pressure until it is
replaced or permanently repaired.
Dead Battery
If the battery is dead or too low to crank
the engine, it can be jump started.
WARNING

specified in the jump start proce-
dure.
Batteries can emit explosive gas
that can ignite if jumper cables are
not properly connected.

follows:

the battery, move the other vehi-
cle as close as possible and prefer-
ably to the front of the Spyder road-
ster. Make sure the vehicles are not

TRAL (N) and engage the parking
brake.

cle and all electrical accessories.
