VEHICLE CARE
Caution (Continued)
.
Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tyres, or tyres that
have too much air, can result in:
.
Unusual wear.
.
Poor handling.
.
Rough ride.
.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
The Tyre and Loading Information
label on the vehicle indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correct cold tyre inflation
pressures. The recommended
pressure is the minimum air
pressure needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load carrying
capacity. See
How the vehicle is loaded affects
vehicle handling and ride comfort.
Never load the vehicle with more
weight than it was designed to
carry.
When to Check
Check the tyres once a month
or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check the tyre pressure.
Proper tyre inflation cannot be
determined by looking at the tyre.
Check the tyre inflation pressure
when the tyres are cold, meaning
the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours or no more
than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the
tyre valve stem. Press the tyre
gauge firmly onto the valve to get
the pressure measurement. If the
cold tyre inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tyre and Loading
Information label, no further
adjustment is necessary.
If the inflation pressure is low,
add air until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure in high, press
on the metal stem in the centre of
the tyre valve to release air.
Re-check the tyre pressure with
the tyre gauge.
Put the valve caps back on the
valve stems to keep out dirt and
moisture and prevent leaks. Use
only valve caps designed for the
vehicle by GM. TPMS sensors
could be damaged and would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
