Loading Your Vehicle
Two labels on your vehicle show how
much weight
it may properly carry. The
Tire-Loading Information label found on
the driver’s door 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.

re don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made by a
ading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted
by the tire manufacturers and
.eir warranties are delivered with every new Chevrolet.
If your spare tire is a
fferent brand than your road tires,
you will have a tire warranty folder from each
’ these manufacturers.

When to Check: Check your tires once a
month or more. 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.
[f you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires.

f you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
nust roll in
a certain direction for the best
werall performance. The direction is
hown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
3ecause these tires are directional, they
hould be rotated as shown
in the
:xample above. These tires should only

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When It’s Time for New Tires
One way to tell when it’s time for new
tires is to check the treadwear indicators,
which
will appear when your tires have
only
2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread
remaining.
You need a new tire if:
0 You can see the indicators at three or
more places around the tire.
0 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.
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split. The tire
has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that can’t be repaired
well
because of the size or location of the
damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you
need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle when it
was new had a Tire Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec) number on each
tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires,
get ones
with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle
will
continue to have tires that are designed to
give proper endurance, handling, speed
rating, traction, ride and other things
during normal service on your vehicle. If
your tires have an all-season tread design,
the TPC number
will be followed by a
“MS” (for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those
not having a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load range,
speed rating and construction type (bias,
bias-belted or radial) as your original
tires.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the
system developed by the United States
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration which grades tires by
treadwear, traction and temperature
performance. (This applies only to
vehicles sold
in the United States.)
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based
on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
Fa
example, a tire graded 150 would wear
one and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded
100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly
from the norm due
to variations in driving
habits, service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest are: A,
B, and C. They represent
the tire’s ability to stop
on wet pavement
as measured under controlled conditions
on specified government test surfaces
of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does
not include cornering (turning) traction.
Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest),
B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to
the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade
C
corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
Those grades are molded on the sidewalls
of passenger car tires.
While the tires available as standard or
optional equipment on General Motors
vehicles may vary with respect to these
grades, all such tires meet General Motors
performance standards and have been
approved for use on General Motors
vehicles.
All passenger type (P Metric)
tires must conform to Federal safety
requirements
in addition to these grades.

rire Chains
NOTICE:
If your Chevrolet has P235/55R16 or
P245/50ZR16 size
tires, don’t use tire
chains; they can damage your vehicle.
If you have other tires, use tire chains
only when you must. Use only
SAE
Class “S” type chains that are the
proper size for your tires. Install
them on the rear tires and tighten
them as tightly
as possible with the
ends securely fastened. Drive slowly
and follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you can hear the
chains contacting your vehicle, stop
and retighten
them. If the contact
continues, slow down
until it stops.
Driving too fast
with chains on will
damage your vehicle.

Fabric Protection
Your Chevrolet has upholstery and carpet
that has been treated
with Scothgardm
Fabric Protector, a 3M product.
Scotchgard- protects fabric by repelling
oil and water, which are the carriers of
most stains. Even
with this protection,
you still need
to clean your upholstery
and carpet often to keep
it looking new.
Further information on cleaning is
available by calling 1-800-433-3296
(in
Minnesota, 1-800-642-6 167).

as soon as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner
will dissolve
them and may cause them to spread.
Non-greasy stains: Such as catsup,
coffee (black), egg, fruit,

Cleaning Vinyl
Use warm water and a clean cloth.
0 Rub with a clean, damp cloth to
remove dirt. You may have to do
it
more than once.
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe
polish
will stain if you don’t get them
off quickly. Use a clean cloth and
solvent-type
vinyl cleaner.
Cleaning Leather
Use a soft cloth with lukewarn water and
a mild soap or saddle soap.
For stubborn stains, use a mild
solution of 10% isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol) and 90% water.
Never use oils, varnishes,
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners,
furntiure polish or shoe polish on
leather.
Soiled leather should be cleaned
immediately. If
dirt is allowed to work
into finish,
it can harm the leather.
Cleaning the Top of the Instrument
Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean the
top surfaces of the instrument panel.
Sprays containing silicones or waxes may
cause annoying reflections
in the
windshield and even make
it difficult to
see through the windshield under certain
conditions.
