inflation pressure CADILLAC SEVILLE 1993 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the passenger
compartment
of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop
or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all
these in the proper place.
COMPACT SPARE TIRE
Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It
should be
60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000
miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where you want. Of course, it’s best to replace your
spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can. Your spare will last longer
and be
in good shape in case you need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when you are
driving with a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index.

GEN GME,
Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found on the driver’s ddor tells you
the proper
size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle.
It also gives you important information about
the number
of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight
is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options.

A CAUTION
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of
too much fkiction. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident could cause serious iqjury.
Check all tires frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked when your tires
are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken
by a sudden impact, such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them.
See “Inflation
- Tire Pressure” in this section for inflation
pressure adjustment
for higher speed driving.
In@tion - Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on the driver’s door
shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting
for at least three hours or
driven no more than a mile.
If you’ll be driving at speeds higher than
100 mph (160 kmh) where it is
legal, raise the “cold” inflation pressure
of each tire to 35 psi (240 kPa).
When you end this
very high speed driving, reduce the “cold” inflation
pressures
to those listed on the Tire-Loading Information label. Never
inflate the tires higher than the maximum “cold” inflation pressures
stated on the sidewall
of the tires.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine STS recommended tire size is:
GA Performance Blackwall (P225/60ZR 16)
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure,
especially if you have radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended
in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index.
FRONT Use this rotation
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that
all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque’’ in the
Index.
