Maintenance and care your SecuriTire requires service as soon as possible. Refer to Servicing your SecuriTires. The Pressure Alert System will activate only when the vehicle is moving faster than 15 km/h (10 mph). Servicing your SecuriTires If you cannot service your SecuriTire immediately, replace it with your temporary spare as soon as safely possible. Your temporary spare tire can be used until your SecuriTire has been repaired. It is recommended that you always have your SecuriTires serviced by an authorized Michelin tire dealer. Each SecuriTire is equipped with a pressure sensor around the wheel rim. This sensor could be damaged when removing and installing the tire. Servicing a SecuriTire at locations other than your Michelin tire dealer may adversely affect your warranty. If you have questions concerning your SecuriTires or servicing, pleas call the Michelin Tire Information Line at 1-800-847-3435 or contact your local Michelin tire dealer.
