VEHICLE CARE
When to Check
Check the tyres once a month
or more.
Do not forget the spare tyre, if the
vehicle has one. See
for additional
information.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check 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
a 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
is 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.
Tyre Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{
Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts
additional strain on tyres. Sustained
high-speed driving causes excessive
heat build-up and can cause sudden
tyre failure. This could cause a
crash, and you or others could be
killed. Some high-speed rated tyres
require inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
operation. When speed limits and
road conditions allow the vehicle to
be driven at high speeds, make sure
the tyres are rated for high-speed
operation, are in excellent
condition, and are set to the correct
cold tyre inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
When driving the vehicle at speeds of
160 km/h (100 mph) or higher, set the
cold inflation pressure to 20 kPa
(3 psi) above the recommended tyre
