unable to maintain the recommended
pressure, contact the nearest
authorized GM servicing facility
immediately for inspection and repair

Caution
Do not drive on a deflated
self-sealing tire as this could
damage the tire. Make sure the tire
is inflated to the recommended
pressure or have it immediately
repaired or replaced.
When tire replacement is needed
replace with a self-sealing tire,
because the vehicle does not come
with a spare tire or tire changing
equipment.
Summer Tires
This vehicle may come with high
performance summer tires. These tires
have a special tread and compound
that are optimized for maximum dry
and wet road performance. This
special tread and compound will have
decreased performance in cold
climates, and on ice and snow. It is
recommended that winter tires be
installed on the vehicle if frequent
driving at temperatures below
approximately 5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or
snow covered roads is expected. See
Caution
High performance summer tires
have rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop surface
cracks in the tread area at
temperatures below
−
7 °C (20 °F).
Always store high performance
summer tires indoors and at
temperatures above
−
7 °C (20 °F)
when not in use. If the tires have
been subjected to
−

less, let them warm up in a heated
space to at least 5 °C (40 °F) for
