Wheels and Tires
Punctured tires
Do not drive the vehicle with a punctured
tire. Even if the punctured tire has not
deflated, it is unsafe to use, since the tire may deflate
suddenly at any time.
Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless tires, which may not leak
when penetrated, provided the object remains in the tire.
If, however, you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance
while driving, or you suspect your tire or vehicle has been
damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive slowly,
avoiding heavy braking or sharp steering, and stop the vehicle
when it is safe to do so.
Inspect the tires for damage. If a tire is underinflated and does
not appear to have any damage to the sidewall, you can try to
temporarily repair it using the supplied tire repair canister. If
you cannot detect the cause or the tire is too heavily damaged,
have the vehicle recovered to a tire repair center to have the
tire inspected. See “Vehicle Recovery”, page 7-42 .
A puncture will eventually cause the tire to lose pressure, which
is why frequent checking of tire pressures is important.
Punctured or damaged tires must be permanently repaired or
replaced as soon as possible by an ElectraMeccanica
Authorized Service Provider or a tire repair center.
Tire repair canister
Driving on a flat tire will cause permanent
damage to the tire. Reinflating a tire after
it has been driven on while severely underinflated or flat may
cause a blowout, which can result in a serious collision. Never
attempt to reinflate a tire that has been driven on while
severely underinflated or flat.
Your vehicle does not have a spare wheel. A tire repair canister
is supplied in the trunk in case you experience a leak in one of
the tires.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions printed on the canister
to inflate the tire. If the tire fails to inflate, call roadside
assistance to have the vehicle transported to a tire repair
center. See “Transporting the Vehicle”, page 7-42 .
Note: The tire repair canister is provided as a temporary repair
solution that may allow you to drive the vehicle to a tire repair
center and have the tire professionally repaired. Using the tire
repair canister is not a permanent fix to the tire.
