If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by
driving slowly to a level place and stopping. Then do this:
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard
Warning Flashers on page 3-6.
2. Park your vehicle. If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, set the parking brake firmly and put
the shift lever in PARK (P). See Shifting Into
Park (P) (Automatic Transmission) on page 2-25.If
your vehicle has a manual transmission, move
the shift lever to REVERSE (R) and set the parking
brake firmly. See Parking Your Vehicle (Manual
Transmission) on page 2-27 for additional
information.
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 on page 7-6.
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 your
vehicle to an authorized GM dealer to have the tire
inspected and repaired as soon as possible. The tire
sealant is a temporary repair only. See Tire Inflator
Kit on page 5-60.
Tire Inflator Kit
Your vehicle has a tire inflator kit. There is no jack or
spare tire. The kit uses a liquid tire sealant and air at the
same time to seal small punctures in the tread area of
the tire. Be sure to read and follow all of the tire
inflator kit instructions.
