Tire Pressure Monitor System
(CTS-V)
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System uses radio
and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
If your vehicle has this feature, sensors are mounted
on each run- at tire and wheel assembly. The TPM
sensors transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle once every 60 seconds while the
vehicle is being driven, and once every 60 minutes
if the vehicle is stationary for more than 15 minutes.
Using the Message Center, tire pressure levels can be
viewed by the driver. For additional information about
the message center operation and displays, see
Message Center (CTS-V) on page 3-51.
When a low tire pressure condition is detected, a low
tire warning light, on the instrument panel cluster,
comes on to warn the driver.
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
light is lit, one or more
of your tires is signi cantly
under-in ated.You should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and in ate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Driving on a signi cantly under-in ated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-in ation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability. Each tire, should be checked monthly when
cold and set to the recommended in ation pressure as
speci ed in the vehicle placard and owner’s manual.
The Tire and Loading Information label (tire information
placard) is attached, to either, the center pillar near
the driver’s door latch post or on the rear edge of the
driver’s side rear passenger door. The label shows
the size of your vehicle’s original tires and the correct
in ation pressure for your vehicle’s tires when they
are cold. SeeIn ation - Tire Pressure on page 5-62and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-33for additional
information.
Your vehicle’s TPM system can alert you about a low
tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal
tire maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation
on page 5-67andTires on page 5-54.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.

Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust
control can collect on the underbody. If these are not
removed, corrosion and rust can develop on the
underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, oor pan,
and exhaust system even though they have corrosion
protection.
At least every spring, ush these materials from the
underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud
and debris can collect. Dirt packed in close areas of
the frame should be loosened before being ushed.
Your GM dealer or an underbody car washing system
can do this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a
chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and
attack painted surfaces on the vehicle. This damage
can take two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped discolorations,
and small, irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this, GM
will repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces
of new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase,
whichever occurs rst.
