If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blow out while you are driving,
especially if you maintain the tires properly. If air
goes out of a tire, it is much more likely to leak out
slowly. See Tires on page 6-46 for additional
information.
This vehicle, when new, had run-flat tires. This type of tire
can operate effectively with no air pressure, so you will
not need to stop on the side of the road to change a flat
tire. You can just keep on driving. The shorter the
distance you drive and the slower the speed, the greater
the chance that the run-flat tire will not have to be
replaced. Run-flat tires perform so well without any air
that a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is used to alert you if
a tire has lost pressure. See Run-Flat Tires on page 6-52
and Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 6-55.
