TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for more information on what to do
if the tire pressure warning system activates.
WARNING:
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an
alert, follow these safety precautions to prevent a loss of vehicle
control that could result in serious personal injury or death:
•
Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
•
Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe handling
maneuvers.
•
Avoid potholes and other road hazards. Remember that when
your tires have lost air pressure, your vehicle’s handling
capability is reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at low or zero air
pressure (refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for these limitations). To
help prolong the life of a tire operating under low-inflation conditions,
drive at a speed as far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible. Also, drive
the shortest distance possible before obtaining tire service. Taking these
precautions will increase the chance that your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after operating under low-inflation conditions, contact
your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. Trained service
personnel will inspect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Goodyear or Dunlop
Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932).
WARNING:
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat
tires, the wheels on which they are mounted and your vehicle’s tire
pressure monitoring system, all tire service work other than routine
inflation maintenance and external inspections must be performed by
service personnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires
yourself; serious injury or death could result. Only specially
trained persons should mount, demount and repair Run-Flat tires, and
more than 40 psi (270 kPa) may be required to seat beads. A safety
cage and clip-on extension air hose must be used if more than 40 psi
(270k Pa) is need to seat beads.
