.A fluid leak in the brake hydraulic system.
Have the brake hydraulic system fixed.
With a leak, the brakes will not
work well.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap
and the area around the cap before
removing it.
Do not top off the brake fluid. Adding fluid
does not correct a leak. If fluid is added
when the linings are worn, there will be too
much fluid when new brake linings are
installed. Add or remove fluid, as necessary,
only when work is done on the brake
hydraulic system.
Caution
If too much brake fluid is added, the
brake fluid can spill and cause vehicle
damage, including damage to electrical
components and surfaces. Add brake fluid
only when work is done on the brake
hydraulic system.
When the brake fluid falls to a low level,
the brake warning light comes on. See Brake
System Warning Light 092. Brake fluid absorbs water over time which
degrades the effectiveness of the brake fluid.
Replace brake fluid at the specified intervals
to prevent increased stopping distance. See
Maintenance Schedule
0316.
What to Add
Use only GM approved DOT 4 brake fluid
from a clean, sealed container. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0320.
{Warning
The wrong or contaminated brake fluid
could result in damage to the brake
system. This could result in the loss of
braking leading to a possible injury.
Always use the proper GM approved
brake fluid.
Caution
If brake fluid is spilled on the vehicle's
painted surfaces, the paint finish can be
damaged. Immediately wash off any
painted surface.

When driving on a deflated run-flat tire,
avoid potholes and other road hazards that
could damage the tire and/or wheel beyond
repair. When a tire has been damaged, or if
driven any distance while deflated, check
with an authorized run-flat tire service
center to determine whether the tire can be
repaired or should be replaced. To maintain
the run-flat feature, all replacement tires
must be run-flat tires.
To locate the nearest GM or run-flat
servicing facility, call Customer Assistance.
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has 245/35ZR19,
305/30ZR20, 275/30ZR20, or 345/25ZR21
size tires, they are classified as
low-profile tires.Caution
Low-profile tires are more susceptible to
damage from road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires. Tire and/or
wheel assembly damage can occur when
coming into contact with road hazards
like potholes, or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb. The warranty
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
does not cover this type of damage. Keep
tires set to the correct inflation pressure
and when possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other road hazards.
Competition Oriented Tires
This vehicle may come with 275/30ZR20 and
345/25ZR21, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R ZP,
competition oriented tires that are DOT
approved for street use. Competition
oriented tires use a special tread pattern
and compound that provide more grip than
normal road tires. The minimum tread depth
will be reached earlier than typical tires,
resulting in reduced tire life. This special
tread pattern and compound will have
decreased performance in cold climates,
heavy rain, and standing water. It is
recommended that winter tires be installed
on the vehicle when driving at temperatures
below approximately 10 °C (50 °F) or on ice
or snow covered roads.
{Warning
Driving on wet roads, in heavy rain,
or through standing water with
competition oriented tires may cause
hydroplaning and loss of control. Use
extreme caution and drive slowly on wet
roads.
{Warning
Driving with competition oriented tires on
snow, ice, or cold road surfaces can cause
loss of control or a crash. Competition
oriented tires are summer season tires
and are not intended to be driven on
snow, ice, or road surfaces below 10 °C
(50 °F). Do not drive a vehicle with
competition oriented tires in these
conditions.
Caution
Competition oriented tires have rubber
compounds that lose flexibility and may
develop surface cracks in the tread area
at temperatures below −7 °C (20 °F).

282 Vehicle Care
Caution (Continued)
Always store competition oriented tires
indoors and at temperatures above−7 °C
(20 °F) when not in use. If the tires have
been subjected to −7 °C (20 °F) or less, let
them warm up in a heated space to at
least 10 °C (50 °F) for 24 hours or more
before being installed or driving a vehicle
on which they are installed. Do not apply
heat or blow heated air directly on the
tires. Always inspect tires before use. See
Tire Inspection 0291.
Summer Tires
High Performance Summer Tires
This vehicle may come with 245/35ZR19 and
305/30ZR20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S ZP or
275/30ZR20 and 345/25ZR21 Michelin Pilot
Sport 4 S ZP high performance summer tires.
These tires have a special tread and
compound that are optimized for maximum
dry and wet road performance. This special
tread and compound will have decreased
performance in cold climates, and on ice and snow. It is recommended that winter tires
be installed on the vehicle if frequent
driving at temperatures below
approximately 5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or snow
covered roads is expected. See
Winter Tires
0 280.
Caution
High performance summer tires have
rubber compounds that lose flexibility
and may develop surface cracks in the
tread area at temperatures below −7 °C
(20 °F). Always store high performance
summer tires indoors and at
temperatures above −7 °C (20 °F) when
not in use. If the tires have been
subjected to −7 °C (20 °F) or less, let them
warm up in a heated space to at least
5 °C (40 °F) for 24 hours or more before
being installed or driving a vehicle on
which they are installed. Do not apply
heat or blow heated air directly on the
tires. Always inspect tires before use. See
Tire Inspection 0291.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
Useful information about a tire is
molded into its sidewall. The example
shows a typical passenger tire sidewall.
Passenger Tire Example
(1) Tire Size:The tire size is a
combination of letters and numbers
used to define a particular tire's width,
height, aspect ratio, construction type,
and service description. See the “Tire
Size” illustration later in this section.

17272984) - 2024 - CRC - 2/20/23
284 Vehicle Care
(3) Aspect Ratio:A 2-digit number that
indicates the tire height-to-width
measurements. For example, if the tire
size aspect ratio is 75, as shown in
item (3) of the illustration, it would
mean that the tire's sidewall is
75 percent as high as it is wide.
(4) Construction Code
:A letter code is
used to indicate the type of ply
construction in the tire. The letter "R"
means radial ply construction; the letter
"D" means diagonal or bias ply
construction.
(5) Rim Diameter
:Diameter of the
wheel in inches.
(6) Service Description
:These
characters represent the load index and
speed rating of the tire. The load index
represents the load carrying capacity a
tire is certified to carry. The speed
rating is the maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load.
Tire Terminology and Definitions
Air Pressure:The amount of air inside
the tire pressing outward on each
square inch of the tire. Air pressure is
expressed in kPa (kilopascal) or psi
(pounds per square inch).
Aspect Ratio
:The relationship of a
tire's height to its width.
Belt
:A rubber coated layer of cords
that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing materials.
Bead
:The tire bead contains steel
wires wrapped by steel cords that hold
the tire onto the rim.
Bias Ply Tire
:A pneumatic tire in which
the plies are laid at alternate angles
less than 90 degrees to the centerline
of the tread. Cold Tire Pressure
:The amount of air
pressure in a tire, measured in kPa
(kilopascal) or psi (pounds per square
inch) before a tire has built up heat
from driving. See Tire Pressure0286.
DOT Markings
:A code molded into the
sidewall of a tire signifying that the tire
is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The
