Refer to the Tire and Loading
Information label, located on the
driver B-pillar, for information
regarding tire sizes, speed
ratings, and recommended tire
inflation pressures. See "Tire
and Loading Information Label"
under Vehicle Load Limits in the
owner manual for more
information. The Special Service
Package is not designed nor
intended for use in high‐speed
emergency vehicle operations.
Wheels
Metal hub caps are standard
with SEO PPV. These caps are
bolted to the wheels and do not
require removal when rotating or
removing the wheels. Loosening or tightening the decorative
wheel attachment nuts can be
done with the hub caps in place.
Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tahoe Police and Special
Service Packages may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
Sensors are mounted on each tire
and wheel assembly. Only the
Tahoe Police Package (SEO PPV)
has a TPM sensor in the full‐size
spare tire and wheel assembly. The
TPM system will not monitor or
display the spare tire's air pressure
until it is installed onto one of the
four tire/wheel positions on your
vehicle.
Once installed, the spare tire's
sensor code must be matched its
new tire/wheel position on your
vehicle. See
“Tire Pressure Monitor
System” in your owner manual
Index for information about the
TPM system.
