The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as you start to drive. This
could be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information
label, attached to your vehicle,
shows the size of your vehicle's
original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressure for your
vehicle's tires when they are cold.
SeeVehicle Load Limits on
page 9‑12, for an example of the tire
information label and its location on
your vehicle. Also see Tire Pressure
on page 10‑48. Your vehicle's TPMS system can
warn you about a low tire pressure
condition but it does not replace
normal tire maintenance. See
Tire
Inspection on page 10‑53, Tire
Rotation on page 10‑54, and Tires
on page 10‑42.
Notice: Tire sealant materials are
not all the same. A non-approved
tire sealant could damage the Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors. TPMS sensor damage
caused by using an incorrect tire
sealant is not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Always use only
the GM-approved tire sealant
available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.TPMS Malfunction Light
The TPMS will not function properly
if one or more of the TPMS sensors
are missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, the
low tire pressure warning light
flashes for about one minute and
then stays on for the remainder of
the ignition cycle. The malfunction
light comes on at each ignition cycle
until the problem is corrected. Some
of the conditions that can cause the
malfunction light to come on are:
.One of the road tires has been
replaced with the spare tire. The
spare tire does not have a
TPMS sensor. The malfunction
light should go off once you
re-install the road tire containing
the TPMS sensor and the
sensor matching process is
performed successfully.

Vehicle Care 10-53
.The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the vehicle's tires. The
malfunction light should go off
after successfully completing the
sensor matching process.
.One or more TPMS sensors
are missing or damaged. The
malfunction light should go off
when the TPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See your dealer for
service.
.Replacement tires or wheels do
not match your vehicle's original
equipment tires or wheels. Tires
and wheels other than those
recommended for your vehicle
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. SeeBuying
New Tires on page 10‑56.
.Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction. If the TPMS is not functioning it
cannot detect or signal a low tire
condition. See your dealer for
service if the TPMS malfunction
light comes on and stays on.
TPMS Sensor Identification
Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. Any time you
replace one or more of the TPMS
sensors, or rotate the vehicle's tires,
the identification 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 for service.
Tire Inspection
We recommend that you
regularly inspect the vehicle's
tires, including the spare tire,
if the vehicle has one, for signs
of wear or damage at least once
a month.
Always remove the tires if any of
the following statements
are true:
.You can see the indicators at
three or more places around
the tire.
.You can see 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.

avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to fit the jack lift
head into the proper location
