Front Tire Deflectors, Lower
Control Arm Deflectors, and
Disc Splash Shields (SS Only)
Before any racing event, remove the
tire deflectors in the front of the
vehicle, and replace the original
deflector and splash shield with the
tall deflector and small splash
shield.
Caution
Race track driving with the
original front disc brake splash
shield and front tire deflector may
result in brake pedal fade due to
high rotor temperatures.
To install the tall deflector and small
splash shield:1. Remove the tire deflector.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Remove the calipers (3) from the knuckle.
4. Remove the brake rotors (2).
5. Remove the original front splash shields (1).
6. Remove the lower control arm deflectors.
7. Detach the engine harness clips from the lower control arm
deflector.
8. Install the small splash shieldswith two screws (2) per corner.
Torque to 9 Y(80 lb inch).

204 Driving and Operating
Caution
Failure to reattach the engine
harness clips correctly could
cause possible interference with
the wheel speed sensor and
vehicle damage.
9. Re-attach the engine harness clips by pushing them from the
bottom up, on the back tab. On
the original deflector, the push
pins are pushed from the
top down.
10. Install the tall deflectors with three screws (1) per corner.
Torque to 3.3 Y(29 lb inch).
When installing new control
arms, torque the three screws
to 4.5 Y(40 lb inch).
11. Install the front rotors with one screw per corner. Torque to
9Y (80 lb inch).
12. Apply liquid thread adhesive to
the caliper bolts (GM Part No.
9985399 –Loctite 272 –
Goodwrench 12345493). Install
the calipers with two screws (1)
per corner. Torque the caliper
bolts to 200 Y(148 lb ft).
13. Reinstall the front wheels using the wheel nut torque. See
Capacities and Specifications
0351.Caution
After a track event, remove the
tall deflector and the small splash
shield and reinstall the original
deflector and splash shield.
Failure to reinstall the original
parts may lead to corrosion, loss
of output, noise, premature brake
pad and rotor wear, reduced
high-speed wet braking, and
damage to the tall deflector.

2. Turn the engine off and wait15 seconds.
3. Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle. If
dcomes on
and stays on, the vehicle may need
more time to diagnose the problem.
If the condition persists, see your
dealer.
Turning the Systems Off
and On
Caution
Do not repeatedly brake or
accelerate heavily when TCS is
off. The vehicle driveline could be
damaged.
To turn off only TCS, press and
release
Y. The traction off lighti
displays in the instrument cluster.
To turn TCS on again, press
Y.
The traction off light
idisplayed in
the instrument cluster will turn off.
If TCS is limiting wheel spin when
Yis pressed, the system will not
turn off until the wheels stop
spinning.
To turn off both TCS and StabiliTrak,
press and hold
Yuntil the traction
off light
iand StabiliTrak OFF light
gcome on and stay on in the
instrument cluster. To turn TCS and StabiliTrak on
again, press
Y. The traction off
light
iand StabiliTrak OFF lightg
in the instrument cluster turn off.
Adding accessories can affect the
vehicle performance. See

0 254.
Engine Drag Control (EDC)
EDC improves vehicle stability by
sensing if there is a difference in
speed between the free rolling front
wheels and the rear drive wheels
that often occurs when the driver
takes their foot off the accelerator
pedal on slippery surfaces (snow,
ice, etc.). When this is detected,
EDC sends more torque to the rear
wheels to make sure all four wheels
are spinning at similar speeds,
making the vehicle more stable.

274 Vehicle Care
Caution (Continued)
.When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions for
adding water.
. Fill the washer fluid tank
only three-quarters full when
it is very cold. This allows
for fluid expansion if
freezing occurs, which could
damage the tank if it is
completely full.
Brakes
Disc brake pads have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads
are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound can come and go or can
be heard all the time when the
vehicle is moving, except when
applying the brake pedal firmly.
{Warning
The brake wear warning sound
means that soon the brakes will
not work well. That could lead to
a crash. When the brake wear
warning sound is heard, have the
vehicle serviced.
Caution
Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly
brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates
can cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean
something is wrong with the brakes.
If equipped with high performance
brake linings, there could be an
increased build-up of brake dust as
well as minor noises as compared
to standard brake linings. Properly torqued wheel nuts are
necessary to help prevent brake
pulsation. When tires are rotated,
inspect brake pads for wear and
evenly tighten wheel nuts in the
proper sequence to torque
specifications. See
Capacities and
Specifications 0351.
Brake pads should be replaced as
complete sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal
does not return to normal height,
or if there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign
that brake service may be required.
Replacing Brake System Parts
Always replace brake system parts
with new, approved replacement
parts. If this is not done, the brakes
may not work properly. The braking
performance expected can change
in many other ways if the wrong
replacement brake parts are
installed or if parts are improperly
installed.

306 Vehicle Care
Different tire sizes should not be
rotated front to rear.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating tires of the same size
installed on all four wheel
positions.
If the vehicle has a compact
spare tire, do not include it in the
tire rotation.Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated.
See
Tire Pressure 0299 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0208.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation 0302.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut Torque” underCapacities
and Specifications 0351.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or a paper
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
towel can be used; however, use
a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the center of the
wheel hub with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or
tire rotation to prevent corrosion
or rust build-up. Do not get
grease on the flat wheel
mounting surface or on the
wheel nuts or bolts.
When It Is Time for New
Tires
Factors such as maintenance,
temperatures, driving speeds,
vehicle loading, and road conditions
affect the wear rate of the tires.
