Vehicle Care
Warning (Continued)

specific wheel and tyre systems
developed for the vehicle, and have them
properly installed by a GM certified
technician.

Wheel Alignment and Tyre
Balance
The tyres and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tyre life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tyre balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is unusual tyre
wear or the vehicle is significantly pulling to
one side or the other. Some slight pull to
the left or right, depending on the crown of
the road and/or other road surface
variations such as troughs or ruts, is normal.
If the vehicle is vibrating when driving on a
smooth road, the tyres and wheels may
need to be rebalanced. See your dealer for
proper diagnosis.
Road Imperfections/Crown Effects
The vehicle's precise steering and handling
make it very responsive to road surface
feedback. A slight pull may be felt in the
steering depending on the crown of the
road and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts. This is normal and
the vehicle does not require service.
Tyre Chatter/Hop
When driving at slow speeds and in very
tight turns, the vehicle may have tyre
chatter/hop. This is normal and the vehicle
does not require service.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked,
or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it. Some aluminium
wheels can be repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel that
is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts,
or Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original equipment
parts.

Warning
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control, resulting in a
crash. Always use the correct wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tyre or tyre chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
