Vehicle Care
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tyres
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
See
Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation
for additional information.
Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation
This vehicle may have a Tyre Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is
designed to warn the driver when a low
tyre pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors
are mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tyre and
wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in the tyres and transmit
the tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition is
detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tyre
pressure warning light located on the
instrument cluster. If the warning light
comes on, stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tyres to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tyre and Loading
Information label. See
.
A message to check the pressure in a
specific tyre displays in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The low tyre
pressure warning light and the DIC warning
message come on at each ignition cycle
until the tyres are inflated to the correct
inflation pressure. If the vehicle has DIC
buttons, tire pressure levels can be viewed.
For additional information and details about
the DIC operation and displays, see
The low tyre pressure warning light may
come on in cool weather when the vehicle is
first started, and then turn off as the vehicle
is driven. This could be an early indicator
that the air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper pressure.
A Tyre and Loading Information label shows
the size of the original equipment tyres and
the correct inflation pressure for the tyres
when they are cold. See
, for an example of the Tyre and
Loading Information label and its location.

The TPMS can warn about a low tyre
pressure condition but it does not replace
normal tyre maintenance. See
and
.
Caution
Tyre sealant materials are not all the
same. A non-approved tyre sealant could
damage the TPMS sensors. TPMS sensor
damage caused by using an incorrect tyre
sealant is not covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always use only the GM
approved tyre sealant available through
your dealer or included in the vehicle.
