tire failure. You could lose control and have an accident resulting in
serious injury or death.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
FLAT TIRE? If you have a flat tire, the service facility will remove
it and install your spare tire (where allowed by local provincial or
federal legislation, tire/wheel size restrictions may apply). The spare
tire must be inflated and in sound operating condition. Tire repairs
are not covered.
OUT OF FUEL? If your vehicle runs out of fuel, a small amount
of gasoline will be delivered to your location, where regulations
permit. In all other cases, including alternate fuels, your vehicle will
be towed to the nearest re-fuelling centre. In these instances, the
cost of fuel purchased will be your responsibility.
Please read “About Roadside Assistance” (page 22) because there
are some limitations that may affect the service available to you.
