.Control brake pressure at
individual wheels and engine
output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the
following conditions:
‐Understeer (vehicle tends to
not follow the steered path
despite increased steering
input)
‐ Oversteer (vehicle tends to
spin due to certain road or
driving conditions)
TCS and Electronic Stability Control
can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but cannot
prevent loss of vehicle control in all
driving situations.
When the TCS and Electronic
Stability Control systems operate,
the
dindicator in the instrument
cluster flashes to note the following:
. The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some
action is required to help keep
the vehicle on the steered path. .
You may feel a pulsation in the
brake pedal and hear a noise or
vibration from under the hood.
This is normal and indicates that
the traction control system is
working properly.
. Adjust your speed and driving to
the road conditions.
See Traction Control System (TCS)/
Electronic Stability Control Light
0 95 and Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Off Light 096.
If a malfunction occurs in the
systems, the
dindicator comes on
in the instrument cluster. The TCS
and Electronic Stability Control
systems automatically turn off when
the indicator light is on.
Turning the Systems Off

To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment:
.
Use engine oil approved to the
proper specification and of the
proper viscosity grade. See
“Selecting the Right Engine Oil”
in this section.
. Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See “Checking
Engine Oil” and“When to Add
Engine Oil” in this section.
. Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See
Maintenance Schedule 0246.
. Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do with
Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level regularly,
every 650 km (400 mi), especially
prior to a long trip. The engine oil
dipstick handle is a loop. See
Engine Compartment Overview
0181 for the location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.
If a low oil Driver Information Center
(DIC) message displays, check the
oil level.
Follow these guidelines:
. To get an accurate reading, park
the vehicle on level ground.
Check the engine oil level after
the engine has been off for at
least two hours. Checking the
engine oil level on steep grades
or too soon after engine shutoff
can result in incorrect readings.
Accuracy improves when

Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tire pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tire
and wheel assembly. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air pressure in
the tires and transmit the tire
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tire pressure warning light
located on the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on, stop
as soon as possible and inflate the
tires to the recommended pressureshown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See
Vehicle Load
Limits 0140.
A message displays when the low
tire pressure warning light comes on
and low tire pressure is detected.
The message and low tire pressure
warning light come on at each
ignition cycle until the tires are
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. The vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 25 km/h
(16 mph) to activate the TPMS and
turn off the low tire pressure
warning light.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper
pressure. A Tire and Loading Information label
shows the size of the original
equipment tires and the correct
inflation pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See
Vehicle Load
Limits 0140, for an example of the
Tire and Loading Information label
and its location. Also see Tire
Pressure 0208.
The TPMS can warn about a low
tire pressure condition but it does
not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire Inspection
0 213, Tire Rotation 0213 andTires
0 200.
Caution
Tire sealant materials are not all
the same. A non-approved tire
sealant could damage the 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.
