Z06 models do not have Extended Mobility Tires. If a

Z06 model 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.

2. Set the parking brake firmly.

3. Put the shift lever (manual transmission)

in REVERSE (R).

4. Turn off the engine.

5. 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”

in the Index.

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. The flat tire is then inflated to at least

26 psi (179 kPa) and driven to evenly distribute the tire

sealant. The tire pressure is checked after driving for a

maximum of 10 minutes to see if the slow leak has been

stopped. If the tire pressure is 19 psi (131 kPa) or more,

inflate the tire up to the standard operating pressure as

shown on the Tire Pressure Label found on the rear edge

of the driver’s door. See “Tires, Pressure” in the Index.

You should have the damaged tire repaired as soon as

possible. The tire sealant is a temporary repair only.

For more information regarding the tire inflator kit see

“Tire Inflator Kit” following this section.

NOTICE:

If the tire pressure has dropped below 19 psi

(131 kPa), the vehicle should not be driven

further. Damage to the tire may be severe and

the sealant will not be effective. Contact Roadside

Assistance, see “Roadside Assistance” in

the Index.
