DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. Slowly remove your foot
from the accelerator and hold the steering wheel firmly while steering to remain in your
lane. Once the vehicle has slowed and is fully under control, apply the brakes gently;
safely pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Inspect the tires. If one or more looks
flat or low, shows detachment or other damage, remove tire assembly and replace it with
a properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate detachment within the tire body
and require inspection by a qualified tire technician.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE
IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire destruction.
If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the tire decal on the vehicle (check
vehicle and/or vehicle Owner’s Manual for decal location) for the recommended
operating pressures. For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided
by your tire retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle decal.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However, do not exceed
th
e maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES. ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES, AND PAX® SYSTEM TIRES, AT
LO W
OR ZERO AIR PRESSURE
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated PAX® System tire or Self-
S u
pporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire (whether front or rear) are not the same as those of a
vehicle with normally inflated tires. Avoid high speeds and hard cornering whenever a low
pressure warning is activated.
Even a MICHELIN® PAX® System Tire or Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire can build
u p
excessive heat when run underinflated for an extended period of time. The length of
time and distance a PAX® System Tire/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire will
perform at low or zero air pressure will depend upon the severity of the event causing air
loss, ambient temperature, speed at which the tire is operated, and the conditions under
which the tire is operated (i.e. hard braking, cornering and other sharp maneuvers will
greatly reduce the length of time the tire can perform at low or zero air pressure.)
Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden tire destruction. If a tire at
low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or cause difficulty in vehicle handling, remove the
tire immediately and replace with the temporary spare. If Michelin® PAX® System Tire/
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the
vehicle owner’s manual for complete details on the low tire pressure warning system
designed to alert you in the event of a low pressure condition.
NOTE:
MICHELIN® SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN
C O
NJUNCTION WITH AN OPERATIONAL, MICHELIN® APPROVED, LOW TIRE PRESSURE
WARNING SYSTEM. Otherwise, all provisions of the limited warranty are void. For a list of
