TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identication code. Any time
you replace one or more of the
TPMS sensors or rotate the
vehicle’s tires, the identication
codes need to be matched to the
new tire/wheel position. The sensors
are matched to the tire/wheel
positions in the following order:
driver side front tire, passenger side
front tire, passenger side rear
tire, and driver side rear tire using a
TPMS diagnostic tool. See your
dealer/retailer for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be
matched to each tire/wheel position
by increasing or decreasing the
tire’s air pressure. If increasing the
tire’s air pressure, do not exceed
the maximum ination pressure
indicated on the tire’s sidewall.
To let air-pressure out of a tire you
can use the pointed end of the
valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure
gage, or a key.You have one minute to match
the rst tire/wheel position,
and ve minutes overall, to match
all four tire/wheel positions. If it
takes longer than one minute, 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
need to start over.
The TPMS sensor matching
procedure is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to
ON/RUN with the engine off.
3. Turn the exterior lamp switch
from AUTO to OFF four times
within three seconds. A double
horn chirp will sound and
the TPMS low tire warning light
starts ashing. The double
horn chirp and ashing TPMS
warning light indicates the
TPMS matching process has
started. The TPMS warning
light should continue ashingthroughout the matching
procedure. The LOW TIRE
message displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the driver side front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the
valve cap stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure
for 10 seconds, then stop and
listen for a single horn chirp.
The single horn chirp should
sound within 15 seconds,
conrming that the sensor
identication code has been
matched to this tire and wheel
position. If you do not hear
the conrming single horn chirp,
turn the ignition switch to
LOCK and start over beginning
with Step 2.
6. Proceed to the passenger side
front tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger side
rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.

8. Proceed to the driver side rear
tire, and repeat the procedure
in Step 5.
9. After hearing the conrming horn
chirp for the driver side rear tire,
check to see if the TPMS low tire
warning light and the DIC LOW
TIRE messages have turned off.
If yes, the TPMS sensors have
been relearned. Turn the ignition
switch to LOCK/OFF.
If the low tire warning light and
the SERV TPM message on the
DIC are on after completing
Step 5 for the driver side rear tire,
the sensor relearn process has
not been successful. Turn the
ignition switch to LOCK/OFF and
repeat the matching process
beginning with Step 2.
10. Set all four tires to the
recommended air pressure level
as indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the
valve stems.Tire Inspection and
Rotation
We recommend that you
regularly inspect the vehicle’s
tires, including the spare tire,
for signs of wear or damage.
SeeWhen It Is Time for
New Tires on page 5-58for
more information.
Tires should be rotated
every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).
SeeScheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4.
The purpose of a regular tire
rotation is to achieve a uniform
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
This will ensure that the
vehicle continues to perform
most like it did when the
tires were new.Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate the 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 5-58and
Wheel Replacement on
page 5-64.
Make sure the spare tire is
stored securely. Push, pull and
then try to rotate or turn the
tire. If it moves, use the wheel
wrench/hoist shaft to tighten
the cable. SeeChanging a
Flat Tire on page 5-66.

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 (except some
aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes be repaired). See your
dealer/retailer if any of these
conditions exist.
Your dealer/retailer will know the
kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the
same load-carrying capacity,
diameter, width, offset, and be
mounted the same way as the one
it replaces.If you need to replace any of your
wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts,
or Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) sensors, replace them only
with new GM original equipment
parts. This way, you will be sure
to have the right wheel, wheel bolts,
wheel nuts, and TPMS sensors
for your vehicle.
{CAUTION
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts
on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle, make
your tires lose air and make you
lose control. You could have a
collision in which you or others
could be injured. Always use the
correct wheel, wheel bolts, and
wheel nuts for replacement.Notice:The wrong wheel can
also cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling, speedometer
or odometer calibration, headlamp
aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or tire
chain clearance to the body and
chassis.
SeeChanging a Flat Tire on
page 5-66for more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION
Putting a used wheel on the
vehicle is dangerous. You cannot
know how it has been used or how
far it has been driven. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash. If you
have to replace a wheel, use a
new GM original equipment wheel.

To store the jack tool bag and jack:
1. Return the tools to the jack
tool bag.
2. Secure the tool bag to the jack
by securely wrapping the straps
around the jack. Then, slide
the straps through the rings on
the bag and secure.
3. Reinstall the wing nut retainer to
fasten the jack and tool bag
under the rear seat.
Make sure that the wing nut
passes through the tool bag and
the jack before tightening it.
4. Turn the wing nut retainer
clockwise to secure.Spare Tire
The vehicle, when new, had a
fully-inated spare tire. A spare tire
may lose air over time, so check
its ination pressure regularly.
SeeInflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-51andLoading the Vehicle
on page 4-35for information
regarding proper tire ination and
loading your vehicle. For instruction
on how to remove, install or store
a spare tire, seeRemoving the Flat
Tire and Installing the Spare Tire
on page 5-72andStoring a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools (H3) on
page 5-78orStoring a Flat or Spare
Tire and Tools (H3T) on page 5-80.
After installing the spare tire on
your vehicle, you should stop
as soon as possible and make sure
the spare is correctly inated.The spare tire does not have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System sensor.
You may get a low pressure warning
light. SeeTire Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 5-54. Have the
damaged or at road tire repaired or
replaced as soon as you can.
Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
t. Keep your spare tire and its
wheel together.
