Vehicle Care 381
Engine Overheating
The vehicle has several
indicators to warn of the
engine overheating.
There is an engine coolant
temperature gauge on the
instrument cluster. See Engine
Coolant Temperature Gauge
0131. The vehicle may also
display a message on the
Driver Information
Center (DIC).
If the decision is made not to
lift the hood when this
warning appears, get service
help right away. See Roadside
Assistance Program 0470.
If the decision is made to lift
the hood, make sure the
vehicle is parked on a level
surface. Then check to see if
the engine cooling fan is
running. If the engine is
overheating, the fan should be
running. If it is not, do not
continue to run the engine.
Have the vehicle serviced.
Caution
Do not run the engine if
there is a leak in the engine
cooling system. This can
cause a loss of all coolant
and can damage the system
and vehicle. Have any leaks
fixed right away.
If Steam Is Coming from
the Engine Compartment
{Warning
Steam and scalding liquids
from a hot cooling system
are under pressure. Turning
the pressure cap, even a
little, can cause them to
come out at high speed and
you could be burned. Never
turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the
pressure cap, is hot. Wait for
the cooling system and
pressure cap to cool.
If No Steam Is Coming
from the Engine
Compartment
If an engine overheat warning
is displayed but no steam can
be seen or heard, the problem
may not be too serious.
Sometimes the engine can get
a little too hot when the
vehicle:
.Climbs a long hill on a
hot day.
.Stops after high-speed
driving.
.Idles for long periods in
traffic.
If the overheat warning is
displayed with no sign of
steam: 1. Turn the air conditioning off.
2. Turn the heater on to the highest temperature and
to the highest fan speed.
Open the windows as
necessary.

the tire warranty and
where to get service. For
additional information refer
to the tire manufacturer.
{Warning
.Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires
are dangerous.
.Overloading the tires
can cause overheating
as a result of too much
flexing. There could be
a blowout and a serious
crash. See Vehicle Load
Limits0252.
.Underinflated tires
pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires
frequently to maintain
the recommended

Warning (Continued)
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked
when the tires are cold.
.Overinflated tires are
more likely to be cut,
punctured, or broken by
a sudden impact —such
as when hitting a
pothole. Keep tires at
the recommended
pressure.
.Worn or old tires can
cause a crash. If the
tread is badly worn,
replace them.
.Replace any tires that
have been damaged by
impacts with potholes,
curbs, etc.
.Improperly repaired
tires can cause a crash.
Only your dealer or an
authorized tire service

Warning (Continued)
center should repair,
replace, dismount, and
mount the tires.
.Do not spin the tires in
excess of 56 km/h
(35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow,
mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the
tires to explode.
See Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
0 410 for inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
driving.
All-Season Tires
This vehicle may come with
all-season tires. These tires
are designed to provide good
overall performance on most
road surfaces and weather
conditions. Original equipment
tires designed to GM's specific
tire performance criteria have

UTQGS (Uniform Tire
Quality Grading
Standards)
:A tire
information system that
provides consumers with
ratings for a tire's traction,
temperature, and
treadwear. Ratings are
determined by tire
manufacturers using
government testing
procedures. The ratings
are molded into the
sidewall of the tire. See
Uniform Tire Quality
Grading 0421.
Vehicle Capacity Weight
:
The number of designated
seating positions multiplied
by 68 kg (150 lbs) plus the
rated cargo load. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0252. Vehicle Maximum Load on
the Tire
:Load on an
individual tire due to curb
weight, accessory weight,
occupant weight, and cargo
weight.
Vehicle Placard
:A label
permanently attached to a
vehicle showing the
vehicle's capacity weight
and the original equipment
tire size and recommended
inflation pressure. See “Tire
and Loading Information
Label” under Vehicle Load
Limits 0252.
Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct
amount of air pressure to
operate effectively.
{Warning
Neither tire underinflation
nor overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires,
or tires that do not have
enough air, can result in:
.Tire overloading and
overheating, which
could lead to a blowout
.Premature or
irregular wear
.Poor handling
.Reduced fuel economy
for internal combustion
engine vehicles
.Reduced range for
electric vehicles
