2007 CADILLAC SRX warning light

Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses
radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure
levels. If your vehicle has this feature, sensors
are mounted on each tire and wheel assembly,
except for the compact spare tire and wheel. The
TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your
vehicle’s tires and transmit the tire pressure
readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. The
TPMS is designed to alert the driver if a low
pressure condition exists.
Using the Driver Information Center (DIC), the
driver can also check tire pressure levels using the
DIC. For additional information and details about
the DIC operation and displays seeDIC Controls
and Displays on page 215andDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 220.When a low tire pressure condition is detected,
the TPMS illuminates the low tire pressure warning
symbol located in the instrument panel cluster,
and at the same time a DIC message to check the
pressure in a specic tire also appears on the
DIC display. The low tire pressure warning symbol
and the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message on
the DIC display appear at each ignition cycle until
the tires are inated to the correct ination
pressure.
You may notice, during cooler weather conditions,
the low tire pressure warning light and DIC
warning message may come on when the vehicle
is rst started, and then turn off as you start to
drive. This could be an early indicator that the air
pressure in the tire(s) is getting low and needs
to be inated to the proper pressure.

The TPM matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON with the
engine off.
3. Using the DIC, press the vehicle information
button until the PRESS
VTO RELEARN
TIRE POSITIONS message displays.
4. Press the Set/Reset button. The horn sounds
twice to indicate the TPMS receiver is ready,
and the TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message
displays. The TPMS low tire warning light
ashes throughout the matching procedure.
5. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem.
Activate the TPM sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for
10 seconds, or until a horn chirp sounds. The
horn chirp, which may take up to 30 seconds to
sound, conrms that the sensor identication
code has been matched to this tire position. To
decrease the tire’s air-pressure use the pointed
end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure
gage, or a key.7. Proceed to the passenger’s side front tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
8. Proceed to the passenger’s side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
9. Proceed to the driver’s side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
10. After hearing the conrming horn chirp, for
the driver’s side rear tire, the horn sounds
two more times to signal the tire learning
model is no longer active. Turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
11. Set all four tires to the recommended air
pressure level as indicated on the tire and
loading information label.
12. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
The spare tire does not have a TPMS sensor.
If you replace one of the road tires with the spare,
the SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM
message displays on the DIC screen. This
message should go off once you re-install the
road tire containing the TPMS sensor.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on
the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
The following information relates to the system
developed by the United States National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which
grades tires by treadwear, traction, and
temperature performance. This applies only to
vehicles sold in the United States. The grades are
molded on the sidewalls of most passenger car
tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG)
system does not apply to deep tread, winter-type
snow tires, space-saver, or temporary use
spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of
10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), or to some
limited-production tires.
While the tires available on General Motors
passenger cars and light trucks may vary with
respect to these grades, they must also conform
to federal safety requirements and additional
General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC)
standards.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specied
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and a half (1.5) 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 signicantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices, and differences in road characteristics
and climate.
Traction – AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specied
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 straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
