{CAUTION:
Run- at tires are constructed differently than
other tires and could explode during improper
service. You or others could be injured or
killed if you attempt to repair, replace,
dismount, or mount a run- at tire. Let only an
authorized run- at service center repair,
replace, dismount and mount run- at tires.
The valve stems on your run- at tires have sensors that
are part of the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
These sensors contain batteries which are designed
to last for 10 years under normal driving conditions.
See your dealer if you ever need to have a wheel
replaced, or if the sensors ever need replacement.
Notice:Using liquid sealants can damage the tire
valves and tire pressure monitor sensors in your
run- at tires. This damage would not be covered
by warranty. Don’t use liquid sealants in your
run- at tires.

operate effectively.
Notice:Do not let anyone tell you that

you can get the following:
Too much exing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Premature or irregular wear
Poor handling
Reduced fuel economy
If your tires have too much air (over-in ation),
you can get the following:
Unusual wear
Poor handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards
