displayed. The current radio station
or CD track number may display for
a short period of time after the radio or CD track status changes. This
may happen whenever radio
information is changed. The
speedometer size is reduced when
radio, CD information, or warnings
are displayed on the HUD.
When the phone feature is
activated, the HUD will briefly
display phone information,
if available.
The HUD control is to the right of
the steering wheel.
To adjust the HUD image so that
items are properly displayed:
1. Adjust the driver seat to a
comfortable position.
2. Start the engine.

The Tire and Loading
Information label also shows the

information on tires and inflation
seeTires on page 10-55 and

There is also important loading
information on the Certification
label. It tells you the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axle. See “Certification
Label” later in this section. “Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit–
1.Locate the statement "The
combined weight of
occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs." on your vehicle’s
placard.
2.Determine the combined
weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
3.Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
4.The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs. and
there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150)
= 650 lbs.)
5.Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6.If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual
to determine how this
reduces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.”

trailering tips.

Wheels and Tires
Tires
Every new GM vehicle has
high-quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer. See
the warranty manual for
information regarding the tire
warranty and where to get
service. For additional
information refer to the tire
manufacturer.
{Warning
.Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires are
dangerous.
.Overloading the tires can
cause overheating as a
result of too much flexing.
There could be a blowout
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
and a serious crash. See
Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9-14.
.Underinflated tires pose
the same danger as
overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently
to maintain the
recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be
checked when the tires
are cold.
.Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden
impact —such as when
hitting a pothole. Keep
tires at the recommended
pressure.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Worn or old tires can
cause a crash. If the tread
is badly worn,
replace them.
.Replace any tires that
have been damaged by
impacts with potholes,
curbs, etc.
.Improperly repaired tires
can cause a crash. Only
the dealer or an
authorized tire service
center should repair,
replace, dismount, and
mount the tires.
.Do not spin the tires in
excess of 56 km/h
(35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow,
mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the
tires to explode.

Vehicle Care 10-57
Caution (Continued)
with road hazards like potholes,
or sharp edged objects, or when
sliding into a curb. The warranty
does not cover this type of
damage. Keep tires set to the
correct inflation pressure and
when possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other road
hazards.
Competition Oriented
Tires
This vehicle may come with 305/
30ZR19 competition oriented tires
that are DOT approved for street
use. Competition oriented tires use
a special tread pattern and
compound that provide more grip
than normal road tires. The
minimum tread depth will be
reached earlier than typical tires,
resulting in reduced tire life. This
special tread pattern and compound
will have decreased performance incold climates, heavy rain, and
standing water. We recommend
installing winter tires on the vehicle
when driving at temperatures below
approximately 10°C (50°F) or on ice
or snow covered roads. See
Winter
Tires on page 10-56.
{Warning
Driving on wet roads, in heavy
rain, or through standing water
with competition oriented tires
may cause hydroplaning and loss
of control. Use extreme caution
and drive slowly on wet roads.
{Warning
Driving with competition oriented
tires on snow, ice, or cold road
surfaces can cause loss of control
or an accident. Competition
oriented tires are summer season
tires and are not intended to be
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
driven on snow, ice, or road
surfaces below 10°C (50°F). Do
not drive a vehicle with
competition oriented tires in these
conditions.
{Caution
Competition oriented tires have
rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop
surface cracks in the tread area
at temperatures below -7°C (20°
F). Always store competition
oriented tires indoors and at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F)
when not in use. If the tires have
been subjected to -7°C (20°F) or
less, let them warm up in a
heated space to at least 10°C
(50°F) for 24 hours or more
before being installed or driving a(Continued)

“Tire Size”illustration later in this
section.
(2) TPC Spec (Tire
Performance Criteria
Specification)
:Original
equipment tires designed to
GM's specific tire performance
criteria have a TPC specification
code molded onto the sidewall.
GM's TPC specifications meet or
exceed all federal safety
guidelines.
(3) DOT (Department of
Transportation)
:The
Department of Transportation
(DOT) code indicates that the
tire is in compliance with the
U.S. Department of
Transportation Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards.
DOT Tire Date of
Manufacture
:The last four
digits of the TIN indicate the tire
manufactured date. The first two digits represent the week (01–
52) and the last two digits, the
year. For example, the third
week of the year 2010 would
have a four-digit DOT date
of 0310.
(4) Tire Identification Number
(TIN)
:The letters and numbers
following the DOT (Department
of Transportation) code are the
Tire Identification Number (TIN).
The TIN shows the
manufacturer and plant code,
tire size, and date the tire was
manufactured. The TIN is
molded onto both sides of the
tire, although only one side may
have the date of manufacture.
(5) Tire Ply Material
:The type
of cord and number of plies in
the sidewall and under the tread.
(6) Uniform Tire Quality
Grading (UTQG)
:Tire
manufacturers are required to
grade tires based on three performance factors: treadwear,
traction, and temperature
resistance. For more information
see
Uniform Tire Quality
Grading on page 10-75.
(7) Maximum Cold Inflation
Load Limit
:Maximum load that
can be carried and the
maximum pressure needed to
support that load.
Compact Spare Tire Example
(1) Tire Ply Material:The type
of cord and number of plies in
the sidewall and under the tread.
