When a low tire pressure condition is detected,
the TPMS will illuminate the low tire pressure
warning symbol located on the instrument panel
cluster, and at the same time a message will also
appear on the DIC display. The low tire pressure
warning symbol on the instrument panel cluster
and the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
message on the DIC will appear at each ignition
cycle until the tires are in ated to the correct
in ation pressure. For additional information and
details about the DIC operation and displays
seeDIC Operation and Displays on page 219and
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 222.
You may notice, during cooler weather conditions,
that the tire pressure monitor light, located on
the instrument panel cluster, and the CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message will appear when the
vehicle is rst started, and then turn off as you
start to drive the vehicle. This could be an
early indicator that the tire pressures are getting
low and need to be in ated to the proper pressure.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and in ated
to the in ation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
in ation pressure label.(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire in ation
pressure label, you should determine the proper tire
in ation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety
feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with
a tire pressure
monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure
telltale when one
or more of your tires
is signi cantly
under-in ated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and in ate them to the
proper pressure. 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.

TPMS Sensor Identi cation Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identi cation
code. Any time you replace one or more of
the TPMS sensors or rotate the vehicle’s tires, the
identi cation 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’s side front tire, passenger’s side
front tire, passenger’s side rear tire, and driver’s
side rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool.
See your 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 in ation
pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.
You will have two minutes to match the rst
tire/wheel position, and ve minutes overall to
match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer
than two minutes, to match the rst tire and
wheel, or more than ve minutes to match all
four tire and wheel positions the matching
process stops and you will need to start over.The TPMS sensor matching process is
outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the
engine off.
3. Turn the headlamp control from off to parking
lamps four times within three seconds. A
double horn chirp will sound and the TPMS
low tire warning light will begin to ash.
The double horn chirp and ashing TPMS
warning light indicate that the TPMS matching
process has started. The TPMS warning
light should continue ashing throughout the
matching procedure.
4. Start with the driver’s side front tire.

5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for
10 seconds, then stop and listen for a single
horn chirp. The single horn chirp should sound
within 15 seconds, con rming that the sensor
identi cation code has been matched to this
tire and wheel position. If you do not hear the
con rming single horn chirp, you will need to
start over with step number one. To let
air-pressure out of a tire you can use the
pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air
pressure gage, or a key.
6. Proceed to the passenger’s side front tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger’s side rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the driver’s side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.9. After hearing the con rming horn chirp for
the driver’s side rear tire, check to see if
the TPMS warning light is still ashing. If yes,
turn the ignition switch to LOCK to exit the
sensor matching process. If the TPMS warning
light is not ashing, the ve minute time
limit has passed and you will need to start
the process over beginning with Step 1.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air
pressure level as indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
11. 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 message will be
displayed 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 speci ed
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 signi cantly 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 speci ed government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
Warning:Thetraction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

4. Press and release the switch to turn the air
in ator on. The indicator light will remain on
when the in ator is running.
The system has an internal clock to prevent
the system from overheating. The system
will allow about ve minutes of running time,
then the compressor will stop. The indicator
light will then begin to ash. When the indicator
is off, the in ator can be started again by
pressing the switch. If the compressor is still
hot, it may only run for a short time before
shutting off again.
5. Press and release the switch to turn the
in ator off.Place the in ator kit tools in the pouch and store it
in its proper location. Remove the in ator hose
from the outlet during loading and unloading. Load
leveling will not function with the in ator hose
attached to the in ator outlet. SeeElectronically
Controlled Air Suspension System on page 360for
more information.
To reinstall the cover, line up the tabs at the back
of the cover, put it in place and latch the tabs.
A continuous ashing indicator light may also
indicate a malfunction in the air suspension
system. SeeElectronically Controlled Air
Suspension System on page 360for more
information.

Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle’s interior may experience extremes
of heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.
When leaning your vehicle’s interior, only use
cleaners speci cally designed for the surfaces
being cleaned. Permanent damage may result from
using cleaners on surfaces for which they were
not intended. Use glass cleaner only on glass.Remove any accidental over-spray from other
surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray, apply
cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice:If you use abrasive cleaners when
cleaning glass surfaces on your vehicle, you
could scratch the glass and/or cause damage
to the rear window defogger. When cleaning
the glass on your vehicle, use only a soft cloth
and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle’s breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read and adhere to all safety
instructions on the label. While cleaning your
vehicle’s interior, maintain adequate ventilation by
opening your vehicle’s doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and
knobs using a small brush with soft bristles.
Your GM dealer has a product for cleaning your
vehicle’s glass. Should it become necessary,
you can also obtain a product from your GM dealer
to remove odors from your vehicle’s upholstery.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses
and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of res caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t
have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the
same amperage. Just pick some feature of your
vehicle that you can get along without — like the
radio or cigarette lighter — and use its fuse, if it is
the correct amperage. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The fuse block is located under the hood in the
engine compartment on the driver’s side of
the vehicle. SeeEngine Compartment Overview
on page 390for more information on location.
Remove the primary cover by pressing the
two locking tabs. Remove the secondary cover
by snapping off while lifting. To reinstall the
fuse panel cover, reverse the sequence.
