Common causes for high trailer tire
temperature are underinflation,
overloading, or tire damage.
TTPMS Malfunction Message
The TTPMS will not function properly
if one or more of the trailer tire
sensors are missing or inoperable.
If the system detects a malfunction, a
DIC message indicates that the system
requires service. Some of the
conditions that can cause the service
message to occur are:
.One of the trailer tires has been
replaced with the spare tire which
does not have a learned TTPMS
sensor. The DIC message should
turn off after the pressure sensor is
installed in the tire, and the
learning process is performed
successfully. See "TTPMS Sensor
Learning Process" underTrailering
App 0355.
.The TTPMS sensor learning process
was not done or not completed
successfully. The DIC message
should go off after successfully
completing the sensor learning process. See "TTPMS Sensor
Learning Process" under
Trailering
App 0355.
.One or more TTPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The DIC
message should go off when the
TTPMS sensors are installed and
the sensor learning process is
performed successfully. See "TTPMS
Sensor Learning Process" under
Trailering App 0355.
.Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TTPMS could cause interference to
the TTPMS which could cause loss
of signal reception from the sensor.
.If the system does not receive the
signal from an individual sensor, an
error message may not occur until
the vehicle has been driver for a
period of time.
If the TTPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal a
low tire condition. See your dealer for
service if the DIC message comes on
and stays on when the trailer tire
pressures have been checked and
determined to be correct.
Tire Inspection
We recommend that the tires,
including the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, be inspected for
signs of wear or damage at least
once a month.
Replace the tire if:
.The indicators at three or more
places around the tire can
be seen.
.There is cord or fabric showing
through the tire's rubber.
.The tread or sidewall is cracked,
cut, or snagged deep enough to
show cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
.The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot be
repaired well because of the size
or location of the damage.

4. Remove the flat tire secure strapfrom the glove box and place the
loop end of the strap through the
cargo tie-down. Place the hook end
of the strap through the loop and
pull it until the strap is fastened
securely to the tie-down.5. Route the hook end of the strapthrough the wheel, as shown.
6. Attach the hook to the other cargo tie-down in the rear of the vehicle.
7. Tighten the strap.
Full-Size Spare Tire
If this vehicle came with a full-size
spare tire, it was fully inflated when
new, however, it can lose air over
time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. See Tire Pressure0409 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0241 for
information regarding proper tire
inflation and loading the vehicle. For instructions on how to remove, install,
or store a spare tire, see
Tire Changing
0 424.
If equipped with a temporary use
full-size spare tire, it is indicated on
the tire sidewall. See Tire Sidewall
Labeling 0404. This spare tire should
not be driven on over 112 km/h
(70 mph), or 88 km/h (55 mph) when
pulling a trailer, at the proper
inflation pressure. Repair and replace
the road tire as soon as it is
convenient, and stow the spare tire for
future use.
Caution
If the vehicle has four-wheel drive
and a different size spare tire is
installed, do not drive in four-wheel
drive until the flat tire is repaired
and/or replaced. The vehicle could
be damaged and the repairs would
not be covered by the warranty.
Never use four-wheel drive when a
different size spare tire is installed
on the vehicle.

440 VEHICLE CARE
Contact a professional towing service
if the disabled vehicle must be
transported. GM recommends a
flatbed tow truck to transport a
disabled vehicle. Use ramps to help
reduce approach angles, if necessary.
If equipped, a tow eye may be located
near the spare tire or emergency jack.
Do not use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may have
right or left-hand threads. Use caution
when installing or removing the
tow eye.
The vehicle must be in N (Neutral)
and the electric parking brake must be
released when loading the vehicle
onto a flatbed tow truck.
.If the vehicle is equipped with car
wash mode and has 12-volt battery
power, refer to“Car Wash Mode ”
under Automatic Transmission 0252
to place the vehicle in N (Neutral).
.If the 12-volt battery is dead and/or
the engine will not start, the vehicle
will not move. Try to jump start the vehicle. Refer to
Jump Starting -
North America 0436 and if the
jump start is successful, retry the
“Car Wash Mode ”procedure.
.If jump starting is unsuccessful, the
vehicle will not move. Tire skates or
dollies must be used under the
non-rolling tires to prevent vehicle
damage.
Front Attachment Points
The vehicle is equipped with specific
attachment points to be used to pull
the vehicle onto a flatbed car carrier
from a flat road surface. Do not use
these attachment points to pull the
vehicle from snow, mud or sand.
Recreational Vehicle
Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means
towing the vehicle behind another
vehicle, such as a motor home. The
two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are dinghy
and dolly towing. Dinghy towing is
towing the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground. Dolly towing is towing
the vehicle with two wheels on the
ground and two wheels on a dolly.
Follow the tow vehicle manufacturer’s
instructions. See your dealer or
trailering professional for additional
advice and equipment
recommendations.
Here are some important things to
consider before recreational vehicle
towing:
.Before towing the vehicle, become
familiar with the local laws that
apply to recreational vehicle towing.
These laws may vary by region.
.What is the towing capacity of the
towing vehicle? Be sure to read the
tow vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.

VEHICLE CARE 441
.What is the distance that will be
traveled? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.
.Is the proper towing equipment
going to be used? See your dealer or
trailering professional for additional
advice and equipment
recommendations.
.Is the vehicle ready to be towed?
Just as preparing the vehicle for a
long trip, make sure the vehicle is
prepared to be towed.
Caution
Use of a shield mounted in front of
the vehicle grille could restrict
airflow and cause damage to the
transmission. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
If using a shield, only use one that
attaches to the towing vehicle.
Dinghy Towing
Two-Wheel-Drive Vehicles
Caution
If the two-wheel-drive vehicle is
towed with all four wheels on the
ground, the drivetrain components
could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Two-wheel-drive vehicles should not
be towed with all four wheels on the
ground. Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicles
Only dinghy tow four-wheel-drive
vehicles with a two speed transfer
case that has an N (Neutral) and a 4
n
setting.
{Warning
Shifting a four-wheel-drive vehicle's
transfer case into N (Neutral) can
cause the vehicle to roll even if the
transmission is in P (Park). You or
others could be injured. Set the
parking brake before shifting the
transfer case to N (Neutral).
