Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive 50 miles

(80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) after a rapid loss of inflation

pressure. This rapid loss of inflation is referred to as the

Run Flat mode. A Run Flat mode occurs when the tire

inflation pressure is of/or below 14 psi (96 kPa). Once a

Run Flat tire reaches the run flat mode it has limited

driving capabilities and needs to be replaced immedi-

ately. A Run Flat tire is not repairable.
It is not recommended driving a vehicle loaded at full

capacity or to tow a trailer while a tire is in the run flat

mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for more infor-

mation.
