Main Menu Table Of Contents Tires Michelin PAX SystemTM If equipped Your vehicle is equipped with the Michelin PAX system which, together with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), enables you to continue driving even if one or more of your tires loses its pressure. The tires and wheels on your vehicle are specially designed for the PAX system, and the PAX system is specifically designed and fine-tuned for your vehicle. Because of these reasons, use only the wheels and tires designated in this owner's manual. Never mix PAX system wheels or tires with conventional wheels or tires. There are no snow tires compatible with the PAX system, and not all tire chains are suitable for use on the PAX system tires. If you mount snow chains on your tires, use the chains recommended by Acura (see page 425 ). Do not replace the PAX system tires and wheels with conventional tires and wheels. Doing so would disable the PAX system and the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and may void your new vehicle warranty. Important Precautions Never use a tire repair agent in a PAX system tire, and never repair a PAX system tire by yourself. Repair or replacement must be done by an Acura dealer or an authorized Michelin PAX system dealer. If you must continue driving with a flat tire, follow all the procedures and precautions described on page 432. 426 2008 RL
