CAUTION:
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT
TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle's handling
capabilities will be reduced during severe
maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could lose
control of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don't drive over 55 mph (90 km/h) when
the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed. Drive cautiously, and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.
If a tire goes flat, you won't need to stop on the side of
the road to change the tire. You can just keep on driving.
The shorter the distance you drive and the slower the
speed, the greater the chance that the tire will not
have to be replaced. If you drive on a deflated EMT
for 50 miles (80
km)
or less and at speeds of 55 mph
(90
km/h)
or less, there is a good chance that the tire can
be repaired. The tire can operate effectively with no air
pressure for up to 200 miles (320
k m )
at speeds up to
55 mph (90 k d h ) , but the tire would then have to be
replaced. When a tire is filled with air, it provides a
cushion between the road and the wheel. Because you
won't have this cushion when driving on a deflated tire,
try to avoid potholes that could damage your wheel and
require replacement of it.
Some road hazards can damage a tire beyond repair.
This damage could occur even before you've driven
on the tire in a deflated condition. When a tire has
been damaged, or if you've driven any distance on a
deflated EMT, check with an authorized Goodyear
EMT Service Center to determine whether the tire can
be repaired or should be replaced. To maintain your
vehicle's extended mobility feature, all replacement tires
must be Extended Mobility Tires. As soon as possible,
contact the nearest authorized Chevrolet or Goodyear
EMT servicing facility for inspection and repair or
replacement. Call Chevrolet at 1-800-CHEV-USA
(1-800-243-8872) or Goodyear at 1-800-789-9878
24-hours a day for information on the location of the
nearest EMT servicing facility. In Canada, contact the
Customer Communication Center at 1-800-263-3777, or
Canadian Roadside Assistance at 1-800-268-6800. You
can also use the Goodyear number listed above to locate
an authorized EMT servicing facility.
