CONTINENTAL TIRE 6. SAFETY WARNING: WARNING: Ignoring any of the safety and information contained in this limited warranty and Adjustment Policy may result in tire failure , causing serious injury or death. • Tire failure due to underinflation /overloading. Follow vehicle owner's manual or tire placard in vehicle for proper inflation and loading • Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper tire mounting. Tire mounting/demounting can be dangerous. It should be performed only by a trained tire specialist using proper tools and procedures. Prior to tire mounting/demounting, the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) wall charts and manuals should be read to obtain the proper procedures. The failure to follow these procedures may result in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim, which may cause the assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause injury or death • Tire failure due to damage. Inspect your tires frequently for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags and other damage from road hazards. Damage from impact can occur to the inner portions of your tire without being visible to the outside. If you suspect a tire has been damaged from striking anything unusual in the road, you must have the tire removed from the rim and inspected both inside and out by a trained tire specialist. Air loss or unusual tire wear can also be warning signs that a tire may have internal damage. If you notice these conditions, have your tire inspected by a trained individual. • Tire failure due to excessive tire spinning. Avoid tire spinning. The centrifugal force generated by a free-spinning tire/rim assembly may cause a sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious injury or death. Never exceed 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on your speedometer when your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or sand and your tire(s) is/are spinning. Use a gentle backward and forward rocking motion to free your vehicle for continued driving. Never stand or permit anyone else to stand near or behind a tire spinning while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck. TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE OWNERS: CONTINENTAL TIRE does not recommend any repair to or reuse of punctured Temporary Spare Tires. 19 REVIEW COPY -- 2013 Tire Warranty (stn), Supplement (supplement), 3rd Printing, October 2013, Market: Canadian_French (fr_can)
