Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when
a low tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tire and wheel assembly. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air pressure in the vehicle's tires
and transmit the tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure
condition is detected, the
TPMS will illuminate the
low tire pressure warning
symbol located on the
instrument panel cluster.
At the same time a message to check the pressure in a
specific tire appears on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) display. The low tire pressure warning light and
the DIC warning message come on at each ignition
cycle until the tires are inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. Using the DIC, tire pressure levels can be
viewed by the driver. For additional information and
details about the DIC operation and displays see
DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 4 ‑ 7 . Also, see “ DIC
Operation and Displays ” in the Index of the owner
manual for more information.
The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool
weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn
off as you start to drive. This could be an early indicator
that the air pressure in the tire(s) are getting low and
need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information label, attached to your
vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle's original
equipment tires and the correct inflation pressure for
your vehicle's tires when they are cold. See
“ Loading
Your Vehicle ” for an example of the Tire and Loading
Information label and its location on your vehicle. Also
see
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6 ‑ 26 .
Your vehicle's TPMS can warn you about a low tire
pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See
“ Tire Inspection and Rotation ” and
“ Tires ” in the Index of the owner manual for more
information.
Notice: Using non ‐ approved tire sealants could
damage the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors. TPMS sensor damage caused by using an
incorrect tire sealant is not covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always use the GM approved tire sealant
available through your dealer/retailer.
Your vehicle, when new, included a factory ‐ installed Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit. This kit uses a GM
approved liquid tire sealant. See
