32 Vehicle Care
{Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator hoses,
or other engine parts. They can be very
hot and can burn you. Do not run the
engine if there is a leak; all coolant could
leak out. That could cause an engine fire
and can burn you. Fix any leak before
driving the vehicle.
Caution
Do not use anything other than a mix of
DEX-COOL coolant that meets GM
Standard GMW3420 and clean, drinkable
water. Anything else can cause damage
to the engine cooling system and the
vehicle, which would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Engine Coolant
See”Engine Coolant” under“Cooling
System” in the owner’s manual.
Engine Overheating
See“Engine Overheating” in the owner’s
manual.
Brakes
Due to California and Washington law, brake
service for some high-performance Camaros
manufactured after December 31, 2020,
cannot be conducted using GM original
equipment brake pads in those states.
Service requiring original equipment brake
pads can be performed at any GM
dealership in the remaining 48 states.
Otherwise, replacement of brake pads in
California or Washington will require
replacement of additional brake system
components. See your dealer to verify the
manufacture date for your vehicle.
Wheels and Tires
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has 285/30ZR20,
305/30ZR20, 305/30ZR19, or 325/30ZR19
size tires, they are classified as
low-profile tires. Caution
Low-profile tires are more susceptible to
damage from road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires. Tire and/or
wheel assembly damage can occur when
coming into contact 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 and
325/30ZR19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R
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 in cold climates,
heavy rain, and standing water. It is
recommended that winter tires be installed
