TPMS Sensor Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication
code. Any time you replace one or more of
the TPMS sensors or rotate your vehicle’s tires,
the identication codes will need to be matched to
the new tire/wheel position. The sensors are
matched to the tire/wheel positions in the following
order: driver side front tire, passenger side front
tire, passenger side rear tire, and driver side
rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your
GM dealer for service.
The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing
the tire’s air pressure. When increasing the tire’s
pressure, do not exceed the maximum ination
pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall. If
using this method to match TPMS sensors, the
complete procedure outlined below must be
performed within 15 minutes of the vehicle being
stationary.You will have one minute to match the rst
tire/wheel position, and ve minutes overall, to
match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer
than one minute to match the rst tire and
wheel, or more than ve minutes to match all
four tire/wheel positions, the matching process
stops and you will need to start over.
The TPM matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Press the push-button ignition switch to Acc.
(Off/Accessory).
3. Using the Keyless Access transmitter, lock
and unlock the vehicle’s doors.
4. Press the lock and unlock buttons, at the
same time, on the Keyless Access
transmitter. A single horn chirp will sound,
indicating that the TPMS is ready, and
the sensor matching process can begin.
5. Start with the driver’s side front tire.

Your vehicle’s original equipment tires are listed
on the Tire and Loading Information label.
This label is attached to the vehicle’s center pillar
(B-pillar). SeeLoading Your Vehicle on page 349,
for more information about the Tire and Loading
Information label and its location on your vehicle.
Vehicles that have performance tires
P235/50R17 95V (front axle) and P255/45R17 98V
(rear axle) are mounted on wheels with different
rim widths. The front axle tires are mounted
on rims 7.5 inches (19.05 cm) wide and the rear
axle tires require wheels with a minimum rim width
of 8 inches (20.32 cm). The original equipment
wheels designed for P255/45R17 98V size
tires are etched with the words REAR ONLY.
When replacing P255/45R17 98V size tires have
them mounted on wheels with a minimum width of
8 inches (20.32 cm) and marked REAR ONLY.
SeeWheel Replacement on page 445.
Different Size Tires and Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are a different size
than your original equipment wheels and tires,
this may affect the way your vehicle performs,
including its braking, ride and handling
characteristics, stability, and resistance to rollover.Additionally, if your vehicle has electronic systems
such as, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and
electronic stability control, the performance
of these systems can be affected.
{CAUTION:
If you add different sized wheels, your
vehicle may not provide an acceptable
level of performance and safety if tires not
recommended for those wheels are
selected. You may increase the chance
that you will crash and suffer serious
injury. Only use GM specic wheel and
tire systems developed for your vehicle,
and have them properly installed by a GM
certied technician.
SeeBuying New Tires on page 441and
Accessories and Modications on page 363for
additional information.

CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
To be even more certain the vehicle will
not move, you can put blocks in front of
and behind the wheels. Also, seeShifting
Into Park (P) on page 122andParking
Brake on page 121for additional
information.
{CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked
up is dangerous. If the vehicle slips off
the jack, you could be badly injured or
killed. Never get under a vehicle when it is
supported only by a jack.
448

{CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can damage the
vehicle and even make the vehicle fall. To
help avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to place the jack in the
proper location before raising the vehicle.
If you ever use a jack to lift your vehicle, follow
the instructions that came with the jack, and
be sure to use the correct lifting points to avoid
damaging your vehicle.Notice:Lifting your vehicle improperly can
damage your vehicle and result in costly repairs
not covered by your warranty. To lift your
vehicle properly, follow the advice in this part.
To help prevent vehicle damage:
Be sure the jack you are using meets the
weight standards for your vehicle and is
in good working order.
Be sure to place a block or pad between
the jack and the vehicle.
Make sure the jack you are using only
contacts the jacking location lift points and
is not leaning on any other vehicle
components such as the rocker panels, the
oor pan, or the stone guard moldings.

Tire Sealant
The kit contains a liquid sealant that when injected
into a at tire, may temporarily repair nail holes
or cuts in the tread area of the tire. The tire sealant
cannot repair tire damage caused while driving
on a at tire or a tire that has had a “blow out” or
a tire that has punctures in the sidewall areas.
The tire sealant solution is to be used for a single
tire and can only be used once.
Check the tire sealant expiration date on the
sealant canister. The sealant may not be
as effective beyond the expiration date. If needed,
see your GM dealer for a replacement canister.
Using the Tire Inator Kit
To use the tire inator kit, do the following:
1. Place the inator kit on the ground and unwrap
the sealant lling hose from the compressor.
2. Remove the air compressor accessory plug
from the unit. To do this, pull the top portion
of the wrapped cord out rst, then the bottom,
and then unsnap the plug. Do not insert the
plug into an accessory outlet yet.
3. Remove the valve stem cap from the at tire
by turning it counterclockwise.
If an object, such as a nail, has penetrated
the tire, do not remove it.
455

4. Attach the sealant lling hose (A) onto the tire
valve stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.
Make sure the inator kit on/off switch (B) is in
the O (off) position.5. Plug the air compressor accessory plug (C)
into an accessory power outlet in the vehicle.
SeeAccessory Power Outlet(s) on page 228
for more information.
{CAUTION:
Idling the engine in a closed-in place or
with the climate control system off can
cause deadly carbon monoxide (CO). See
