10-56 Vehicle Care If a tire goes flat, there is no need to stop on the side of the road to change the tire. Continue driving, however, do not drive too far or too fast. Driving on the tire may not be possible if there is permanent damage. The tire can be driven with no air pressure for up to 105 km (65 miles) at speeds slower than 90 km/h (55 mph). The shorter the distance and the slower the speed, the greater the chance the tire will not have to be replaced. As soon as possible, contact the nearest authorized GM or run-flat servicing facility for inspection and repair or replacement. When driving on a deflated run-flat tire, avoid potholes and other road hazards that could damage the tire and/or wheel beyond repair. When a tire has been damaged, or if driven any distance on a deflated run-flat tire, check with an authorized run-flat tire service center to determine whether the tire can be repaired or should be replaced. To maintain the run-flat feature, all replacement tires must be run-flat tires. To locate the nearest GM or run-flat servicing facility, call Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program (U.S. and Canada) on page 13‑8 or Roadside Assistance Program (Mexico) on page 13‑10 for details. The valve stems on run-flat tires have sensors that are part of the TPMS. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10‑64. These sensors contain batteries that are designed to last for 10 years under normal driving conditions. See your dealer for wheel or sensor replacement. Notice: Using liquid sealants can damage the tire valves and tire pressure monitor sensors in the run-flat tires. This damage is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use liquid sealants in run-flat tires. Run-Flat Tires This vehicle, when new, had run-flat tires. There is no spare tire, no tire changing equipment, and no place to store a tire in the vehicle. The vehicle also has a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) that indicates a loss of tire pressure in any of the tires. { WARNING If the low tire warning light displays on the instrument panel cluster, the handling capabilities will be reduced during severe maneuvers. Driving too fast could cause loss of control and you or others could be injured. Do not drive over 90 km/h (55 mph) when the low tire warning light is displayed. Drive cautiously and check the tire pressures as soon as possible.
