Tyre Sealant And Compressor Kit - Cadillac CTS 2018 Owner's Manual

296 VEHICLE CARE
A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction as used in
a skid. Stop pressing the accelerator
pedal and steer to straighten the
vehicle. It may be very bumpy and
noisy. Gently brake to a stop, well off
the road, if possible.
Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under
it to do maintenance or repairs is
dangerous without the appropriate
safety equipment and training. If a
jack is provided with the vehicle, it
is designed only for changing a flat
tyre. If it is used for anything else,
you or others could be badly injured
or killed if the vehicle slips off the
jack. If a jack is provided with the
vehicle, only use it for changing a
flat tyre.
If this vehicle does not have run-flat
tyres and a tyre goes flat, avoid
further tyre and wheel damage by
driving slowly to a level place, well off
the road, if possible.
1. Turn on the hazard warning
flashers. See Hazard Warning
Flashers 0 153.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Put an automatic transmission in
P (Park) or a manual gearbox in
1 (First) or R (Reverse).
4. Turn off the ignition.
5. Inspect the flat tyre.
Warning
Driving on a flat tyre will cause
permanent damage to the tyre.
Re-inflating a tyre after it has been
driven on while severely
underinflated or flat may cause a
blowout and a serious crash. Never
attempt to re-inflate a tyre that has
been driven on while severely
underinflated or flat. Have your
dealer or an authorised tyre service
centre repair or replace the flat tyre
as soon as possible.
If this vehicle has a tyre sealant kit
and the tyre has been separated from
the wheel, has damaged sidewalls,
or has a puncture larger than 6 mm
(0.25 in), the tyre is too severely
damaged for the tyre sealant and
compressor kit to be effective. If the
tyre has a puncture less than 6 mm
(0.25 in) in the tread area of the tyre,
see Tyre Sealant and Compressor Kit
0 296.

Warning
Idling a vehicle in an enclosed area
with poor ventilation is dangerous.
Engine exhaust may enter the
vehicle. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death. Never run the engine in an
enclosed area that has no fresh air
ventilation. For more information,
see Engine Exhaust 0 195.
