Cadillac Chevrolet Tahoe 2012 Manual page 73

If a tire goes flat, avoid further
tire and wheel damage by driving
slowly to a level place and stopping,
well off the road, if possible.
Then do this:
1. Turn on the hazard warning
flashers.
2. Park the vehicle. Set the
parking brake firmly and put
the shift lever in P (Park).
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Inspect the flat tire.
If the tire has been separated from
the wheel or has damaged sidewalls
or large tears that allow rapid air
loss, call a tire repair facility. See
Roadside Assistance Program or
Roadside Service in the owner
manual.
If the flat tire is due to a slow leak
caused by a nail or other similar
road hazard, the tire inflator kit may
be used to repair the damaged tire
temporarily. The kit uses a liquid tire
sealant to seal small punctures in
the tread area of the tire.
After repairing a tire with the tire
inflator kit, take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer to have the tire
inspected and repaired as soon as
possible. The tire sealant is a
temporary repair only. See Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit on
page 10 25.

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.
WARNING (Continued)
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 in the owner
manual.
Overinflating a tire could cause
the tire to rupture and you or
others could be injured. Be sure
to read and follow the tire
sealant and compressor kit
instructions and inflate the tire
to its recommended pressure.
Do not exceed the recommended
pressure.
