Warning (Continued)
.
Replace any tyres that have been
damaged by impacts with
potholes, curbs, etc.
.
Improperly repaired tyres can
cause a crash. Only your dealer or
an authorised tyre service centre
should repair, replace, dismount,
and mount the tyres.
.
Do not spin the tyres in excess of
56 km/h (35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow, mud, ice,
etc. Excessive spinning may cause
the tyres to explode.
See
Tyre Pressure for High-Speed Operation
for inflation pressure adjustment for
high-speed driving.
Run-Flat Tyres
This vehicle, when new, may have had
run-flat tyres. There is no spare tyre, no tyre
changing equipment, and no place to store a
tyre in the vehicle.
{
Warning
While driving with run-flat tyres at a
reduced inflation pressure, avoid making
sudden stops or severe manoeuvres as
the handling capabilities of the tyres will
be reduced. Driving too fast could cause
loss of control and you or others could
be injured. Do not drive over 80 km/h
(50 mph) with the tyre operating at low
pressure. Drive cautiously and check the
tyre pressure as soon as possible.
Run-flat tyres can be driven up to 80 km
(50 mi) at speeds less than 80 km/h
(50 mph) after a loss of inflation pressure
has occurred. There is no need to stop on
the side of the road to change the tyre. The
possible driving range after a pressure loss
will vary based on the vehicle load and
driving conditions. As soon as possible,
contact the nearest authorised GM or
run-flat servicing facility for inspection and
repair or replacement.
When driving on a deflated run-flat tyre,
avoid potholes and other road hazards that
could damage the tyre and/or wheel beyond
repair. When a tyre has been damaged, or if
driven any distance while deflated, check
with an authorised run-flat tyre service
centre to determine whether the tyre can be
repaired or should be replaced. To maintain
the run-flat feature, all replacement tyres
must be run-flat tyres.
To locate the nearest GM or run-flat
servicing facility, call Customer Assistance.
Low-Profile Tyres
If the vehicle has 245/35ZR19 or
305/30ZR20 size tyres, they are
classified as low-profile tyres.
Caution
Low-profile tyres are more susceptible to
damage from road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tyres. Tyre and/or
wheel assembly damage can occur when
coming into contact with road hazards
like potholes, or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb. The warranty
does not cover this type of damage. Keep
tyres set to the correct inflation pressure
and when possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other road hazards.
