Low-Profile Tyres - Chevrolet 2015 Corvette Owner's Manual

Warning
If the low tyre warning light
displays on the instrument cluster,
the handling capabilities will be
reduced during severe
manoeuvres. Driving too fast
could cause loss of control and
you or others could be injured. Do
not drive over 80 km/h (50 mph)
when the low tyre warning light is
displayed. Drive cautiously and
check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
Run-flat tyres can be driven on with
no air pressure. There is no need to
stop on the side of the road to
change the tyre. Continue driving;
however, do not drive too far or too
fast. Driving on the tyre may not be
possible if there is permanent
damage. To prevent permanent
damage, the tyre can be driven with
no air pressure for up to 80 km
(50 mi) at speeds slower than
80 km/h (50 mph). As soon as
possible, contact the nearest
authorised GM or run-flat servicing
facility for inspection and repair or
replacement.
When driving on a deflated run-flat
tyre, avoid potholes and other road
hazards that could damage the tyre
and/or wheel beyond repair. When a
tyre has been damaged, or if driven
any distance while deflated, check
with an authorised run-flat tyre
service centre to determine whether
the tyre can be repaired or should
be replaced. To maintain the run-flat
feature, all replacement tyres must
be run-flat tyres.
To locate the nearest GM or run-flat
servicing facility, call Customer
Assistance.
The valve stems on run-flat tyres
have sensors that are part of the
TPMS. See Tyre Pressure Monitor
System on page 10-50. These
sensors contain batteries that are
designed to last for 10 years under
Vehicle Care
normal driving conditions. See your
dealer for wheel or sensor
replacement.
Caution
Using liquid sealants can damage
the tyre valves and tyre pressure
monitor sensors in the run-flat
tyres. This damage is not covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
use liquid sealants in run-flat
tyres.
