Magnetic Ride Control
Your vehicle may have a feature called Magnetic Ride
Control that automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response. If the
controller detects a problem within the system, the
DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS
message. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-76for more information. If this message appears,
have your vehicle serviced at your dealership.
Electronically Controlled Air Ride
Suspension
If you have a Cadillac Professional Vehicle, you may
have a feature called Electronically Controlled Air
Suspension. Air ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the system. The
controller receives input from two height sensors to
determine the proper system response. If the controller
detects a problem with the system, the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will display a SERVICE
SUSPENSION SYS message. If this message appears,
have your vehicle serviced at your dealership.
StabiliTrak®System
Your vehicle may have this feature. The StabiliTrak®
system is an advanced computer controlled system that
helps the driver maintain directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions. This is
accomplished by selectively applying any one of the
vehicle’s brakes and reducing engine power.
The StabiliTrak
®system comes on automatically
whenever you start your vehicle. The system cannot be
turned off.
The STABILITRAK NOT READY message may be
displayed in the DIC and the traction control system and
StabiliTrak
®warning light on the instrument panel
cluster will be on after rst driving the vehicle and
exceeding 30 mph 48 (km/h) for 30 seconds. The
StabiliTrak
®system is off until the light has turned off.
This could take up to 15 minutes.
The traction control system and StabiliTrak
®warning
light on the instrument panel cluster will ash when the
system is operating. SeeTraction Control System
(TCS) Warning Light on page 3-64and
StabiliTrak
®Indicator Light on page 3-64for more
information. You may also feel or hear the system
working. This is normal.

Professional Vehicle
The proper ination of the tires on your professional
vehicle depends on the type of tires on it.
If your vehicle has P235/60R17 size tires, the cold
ination pressure is 41 psi (284 kPa).
If your vehicle has LT235/60R17E size tires, the cold
ination pressure depends on the vehicle mass and
should be determined by the vehicle coach-builder.
A tire and loading information label provided by the
nal stage manufacturer should be attached to the
B-pillar on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If the nal
stage manufacturer’s label is not present, the
coach-builder should be consulted. Do not use the
tire pressures indicated on the General Motors label.
These tire pressures are for the incomplete vehicle
and are not the correct tire pressures for the
completed professional vehicle.
Operation at ination pressures below this
recommendation may cause your tires to become
overloaded.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) is designed
to monitor the amount of pressure in your vehicle’s
tires using radio and sensor technology. A TPMS
sensor, mounted onto the vehicle’s full-size tire and
wheel assembly, transmits tire pressure readings to a
receiver located in the vehicle. The compact spare
tire and wheel does not have a TPMS sensor.
Tire pressure status and tire pressure warnings are
shown on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
For additional information and details about the DIC
operation and displays seeDIC Controls and Displays
on page 3-72andDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-76.
If a low tire pressure condition is detected, the TPMS
will display the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
message on the DIC and, at the same time, illuminate
the low tire pressure warning symbol, on the instrument
panel cluster.
You may notice, during cooler weather conditions, that
the low tire pressure warning symbol and the CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE message will display when the vehicle
is rst started and then turn off as you start to drive
the vehicle. This could be an early indicator that the tire
pressures are getting low and need to be checked
and inated to the proper pressure.
5-59

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold and inated to the ination
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tire ination pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire ination
pressure label, you should determine the proper
tire ination pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety
feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one
or more of your tires is
signicantly under-inated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signicantly under-inated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-ination also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-ination has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and
low tire pressure light (telltale) will appear at each
ignition cycle until the tires are inated to the correct
ination pressure.
The Tire and Loading Information Label shows the size
of your vehicle’s original tires and their recommended
cold ination pressures. SeeLoading Your Vehicle
on page 4-31, for the location of the tire and loading
information label. Also seeInation - Tire Pressure
on page 5-56.
Your vehicle’s TPMS can alert you about a low tire
pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 5-63andTires on page 5-49.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle has
Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid sealant can
damage the tire pressure monitor sensors.

Resetting the TPMS Sensor
Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication code.
Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors,
rotate the vehicle’s tires, or install a full-size spare
that has a TPMS sensor, the sensor’s identication
codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel
position. Each tire/wheel position is matched to
the TPMS sensor using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See
your GM dealer for service.
The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure. When increasing the tire’s air pressure,
do not exceed the maximum tire pressure indicated on
the tire’s sidewall.
You will have two minutes to match the rst tire/wheel
position, and ve minutes overall, to match all
four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than
two minutes, to match the rst tire and wheel, or
more than ve minutes to match all four tire and wheel
positions the matching process stops and you will
need to start over.The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the engine off.
3. Press the Driver Information Center (DIC) vehicle
information button until the RELEARN TIRE
POSITIONS displays.
4. Press the set/reset button to allow the system to
learn the tire positions. The horn will sound twice
to indicate that the TPMS is ready, and then
the message TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE will display.
The sensor matching process can begin.
5. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for ve seconds,
or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which may take up to 30 seconds, conrms that the
sensor identication code has been matched to
this tire position. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage or a key.
5-61

7. Proceed to the passenger’s side front tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
8. Proceed to the passenger’s side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
9. Proceed to the driver’s side rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 6.
10. When the re-learning is complete, the horn will
sound and the TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message
will clear from the DIC display. Exit the matching
process by turning the ignition switch to OFF.
11. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the tire and loading information
label.
12. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
The compact spare tire does not have a TPMS sensor.
If you replace one of the road tires with the compact
spare, the SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM
message will be displayed on the DIC screen. This
message should go off once you re-install the road tire
containing the TPMS sensor. The SERVICE TIRE
MONITOR SYSTEM message is also displayed when
a part of the TPMS is not working properly.One or more missing or inoperable TPMS sensors will
cause the service tire monitor message to be displayed.
See your GM dealer for service if all the TPMS
sensors are installed and the error message comes on
and stays on.

Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as
soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also
check for damaged tires or wheels. SeeWhen It Is Time
for New Tires on page 5-64andWheel Replacement
on page 5-69for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The rst rotation
is the most important. SeeScheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4.
If your vehicle has a compact spare tire, it should not be
included in the tire rotation process. Use the four-tire
rotation pattern shown.A ve-tire rotation pattern may be used for your
professional vehicle, if it has a full-size spare tire and
wheel assembly that matches the original equipment
tires and wheels in size, type and brand. The correct
ve-tire rotation pattern is shown.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear ination pressures as shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeLoading Your Vehicle on
page 4-31.
Vehicles that have the Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) will need to have the sensors reset after a tire
rotation is performed. SeeTire Pressure Monitor
System on page 5-59. Four-Tire Rotation Pattern
