WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading
can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and
increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never
overload them.
TIRES — GENERAL INFORMATION
Run Flat Tires
This vehicle is equipped with run flat tires. Although the
tires are designed with a “run flat” feature that allows the
vehicle to be driven about 50 miles (80 km) at 55 mph (88
km/h), immediate service should be obtained.
WARNING!
Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h) if the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” is illuminated. Vehicle
handling and braking may be reduced. You could
have an accident and be severely or fatally injured.
NOTE:The “run flat” feature eliminates the need for a
spare tire or jack. This vehicle is not equipped with either
a spare tire or jack.
