SYSTEM (TPMS) APPROVED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER FOR USE
WITH THE PAX SYSTEM. Otherwise, all provisions of the limited warranty are
void. For a list of approved systems, see your authorized PAX System retailer
or call 1-877-PAX TIRE or 1-877-729-8473. For all types of tires, consult
your vehicle owner’s manual or the tire information placard that came on
your vehicle (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or
on the glove compartment door) for recommended operating pressures.
If the tires are purchased as replacement tires, operating instructions for
the low pressure warning system will be provided by the manufacturer
of that system. Recommended operating pressures will be provided by a
Michelin tire retailer for self-supporting ZP tires. Recommended operating
pressure for PAX System Tires will be provided by a PAX System retailer.
These ination pressures must be maintained as a minimum. Never exceed
the Maximum Pressure rating shown on the tire sidewall.

LOW PRESSURE WARNING
The PAX System
™
requires a functioning, correctly calibrated onboard
vehicle tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to monitor the ination
and alert the driver when a low pressure event occurs. Be certain to ensure
that your vehicle’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is functioning
and is correctly calibrated. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or your
vehicle dealer. Low pressure warning systems are designed to alert the
driver to a low ination situation in at least one tire on the vehicle. While
your ZP tires are designed to provide continued mobility in the event of an
air loss, the sooner you respond to a warning and take corrective action,
the greater the likelihood that the tire can be returned to service. Always
visually inspect your MICHELIN PAX System tire and Self-Supporting tires
and use a pressure gauge to check the ination in all 4 tires following any
low pressure warning (unless advised to do otherwise by the manufacturer
of your low pressure warning system). If the tire pressure is at or below 18
PSI, proceed to the nearest Authorized PAX System Retailer for PAX
®
tires
or a Michelin tire retailer for ZP tires (or a representative of your vehicle
manufacturer if advised to do so in your vehicle owner’s manual) and have
the tire demounted and thoroughly inspected for possible internal damage.
If you are unable to see any damage to the tire, and the tire pressure is
more than 18 PSI, reinate your tire to the proper ination. When tires
have cooled, check ination again. If any tire has lost more than 5 PSI
from the previous pressure check, have the tire inspected at once by an
authorized PAX System Retailer for PAX tires or a Michelin tire retailer (or
representative of your vehicle manufacturer if your vehicle owner’s manual
so advises.) Failure to do so may cause irreparable damage to the tire and
result in sudden tire failure and an accident.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS):
Your vehicle is likely equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on your
vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls below a
predetermined level. A TPMS should not replace monthly manual pressure
checks for all four tires and the spare. You should manually monitor and
check tire pressure ination with a pressure gauge. Your tires should have
the recommended pressure listed by your vehicle’s manufacturer. This
