your SecuriTire requires service as soon as possible. Refer to Servicing

The Pressure Alert System will activate only when the vehicle is moving
faster than 15 km/h (10 mph).

Servicing your SecuriTires

If you cannot service your SecuriTire immediately, replace it with your
temporary spare as soon as safely possible.

Your temporary spare tire can be used until your SecuriTire has been
repaired.

It is recommended that you always have your SecuriTires serviced by an
authorized Michelin tire dealer. Each SecuriTire is equipped with a
pressure sensor around the wheel rim. This sensor could be
damaged when removing and installing the tire.
Servicing a
SecuriTire at locations other than your Michelin tire dealer may
adversely affect your warranty.

If you have questions concerning your SecuriTires or servicing, pleas call
the Michelin Tire Information Line at 1-800-847-3435 or contact your
local Michelin tire dealer.

INFORMATION ABOUT TIRE QUALITY GRADES

tire’s sidewall. These Tire Quality
Grades are determined by standards
that the United States Department
of Transportation has set.

Tire Quality Grades apply to new
pneumatic tires for use on
passenger cars. They do not apply
to deep tread, winter-type snow
tires, space-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with nominal rim
diameters of 10 to 12 inches or limited production tires as defined in
Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 575.104(c)(2).
