To decrease air-pressure out of a
tire you can use the pointed end of
the valve cap, a pencil-style air
pressure gauge, or a key.
You have two minutes to match
the first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all
four tire/wheel positions. If it takes
longer than two minutes, to match
the first tire and wheel, or more than
five minutes to match all four tire
and wheel positions the matching
process stops and you need to
start over.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Place the vehicle power mode inON/RUN/START. See Ignition
Positions on page 9‑18.
3. Select the vehicle information menu using the menu button.
4. Select the tire pressure screen using the up/down thumbwheel. 5. Press and hold SET to begin the
sensor matching process.
6. Press SET to confirm selection. The horn sounds twice to signal
the receiver is in relearn mode
and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE
message displays on the DIC
screen.
7. Start with the driver side front tire.
8. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing
or decreasing the tire's air
pressure for five seconds,
or until a horn chirp sounds.
The horn chirp, which may
take up to 30 seconds to
sound, confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to this tire and wheel
position.
9. Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5. 10. Proceed to the passenger
side rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.
11. Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the procedure
in Step 5. The horn sounds
two times to indicate the
sensor identification code has
been matched to the driver
side rear tire, and the TPMS
sensor matching process
is no longer active. The TIRE
LEARNING ACTIVE message
on the DIC display screen
goes off.
12. Press STOP to turn the ignition off.
13. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
14. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

Insuring Your Vehicle
Protect your investment in your
GM vehicle with comprehensive
and collision insurance coverage.
There are significant differences
in the quality of coverage afforded
by various insurance policy terms.
Many insurance policies provide
reduced protection to your GM
vehicle by limiting compensation
for damage repairs by using
aftermarket collision parts. Some
insurance companies will not
specify aftermarket collision parts.
When purchasing insurance, we
recommend that you ensure that
your vehicle will be repaired with
GM original equipment collision
parts. If such insurance coverage
is not available from your current
insurance carrier, consider switching
to another insurance carrier.If your vehicle is leased, the leasing
company may require you to have
insurance that ensures repairs with
Genuine GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer replacement
parts. Read your lease carefully, as
you may be charged at the end of
your lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help. Do not
leave the scene of a crash until all
matters have been taken care of.
Move the vehicle only if its position
puts you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a police
officer.
Give only the necessary information
to police and other parties involved
in the crash.
For emergency towing see
Roadside Service (U.S. and
Canada) on page 13‑8
orRoadside
Service (Mexico) on page 13‑10. Gather the following information:
.Driver's name, address, and
telephone number
.Driver's license number
.Owner's name, address, and
telephone number
.Vehicle license plate number
.Vehicle make, model, and
model year
.Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN)
.Insurance company and policy
number
.General description of the
damage to the other vehicle
Choose a reputable repair facility
that uses quality replacement parts.
See “Collision Parts” earlier in this
section.
If the airbag has inflated, see What
Will You See After an Airbag
Inflates? on page 3‑37.
