13. Unplug the power plug (9)from the accessory power
outlet in the vehicle.
14. Turn the sealant/air hose (2) counterclockwise
to remove it from the tire
valve stem.
15. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
16. Remove the tire sealant canister (4) from the slot
on top of the
compressor (6).
17. Turn the air only hose (10) counterclockwise to
remove it from the tire
sealant canister inlet
valve (1).
18. Turn the sealant/air hose (2) clockwise onto the
sealant canister inlet
valve (1) to prevent sealant
leakage.
19. Return the air only hose (10) and power plug (9)
back to their original
storage location.
20. If the flat tire was able toinflate to the
recommended inflation
pressure, remove the
maximum speed label from
the sealant canister and
place it in a highly visible
location.
Do not exceed the speed
on this label until the
damaged tire is repaired or
replaced.
21. Return the equipment to its original storage location
in the vehicle.
22. Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km (5 mi) to
distribute the sealant in
the tire. 23. Stop at a safe location and
check the tire pressure.
Refer to Steps 1–10 under
“Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inflate a Tire
(Not Punctured).”
If the tire pressure has
fallen more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) below the
recommended inflation
pressure, stop driving the
vehicle. The tire is too
severely damaged and the
tire sealant cannot seal the
tire. See Roadside
Assistance Program 0487.
If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) from the
recommended inflation
pressure, inflate the tire to
the recommended inflation
pressure.

1. Remove the compressorfrom its storage location.
See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor
Kit 0446.
2. Remove the air only hose (10) and the power plug (9)
from the bottom of the
compressor.
3. Place the compressor on the ground near the
flat tire.
Make sure the tire valve
stem is positioned close to
the ground so the hose will
reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by
turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (10) to the tire valve stem
by turning it clockwise until
tight.
6. Plug the power plug (9) into the accessory power
outlet in the vehicle. Unplug all items from other
accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets
0101.
If the vehicle has an
accessory power outlet, do
not use the cigarette
lighter.
If the vehicle only has a

7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running
while using the air
compressor.
8. Press the on/off button (5) to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inflate
the tire with air only.
9. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation
pressure using the
pressure gauge (8). The
recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure
0422.
The pressure gauge (8)
may read higher than the
actual tire pressure while
the compressor is on. Turn
the compressor off to get
an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor
may be turned on/off until
the correct pressure is
reached.
Caution
If the recommended
pressure cannot be reached
after approximately
25 minutes, the vehicle
should not be driven farther.
The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire
sealant and compressor kit
cannot inflate the tire.

Appearance Care
Exterior Care
Locks
Locks are lubricated at the
factory. Use a de-icing agent
only when necessary, and
have the locks greased after
using. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants0474.
Washing the Vehicle
To preserve the vehicle finish,
wash it often and out of direct
sunlight.
Caution
Do not use
petroleum-based, acidic,
or abrasive cleaning agents
as they can damage the
vehicle's paint, metal,
or plastic parts. If damage
occurs, it would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Approved cleaning
products can be obtained
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
from your dealer. Follow all
manufacturer directions
regarding correct product
usage, necessary safety
precautions, and
appropriate disposal of any
vehicle care product.
Caution
Avoid using high-pressure
washes closer than 30 cm
(12 in) to the surface of the
vehicle. Use of power
washers exceeding
8 274 kPa (1,200 psi) can
result in damage or removal
of paint and decals. Automatic Car Wash
Caution
Automatic car washes can
cause damage to the
vehicle, wheels, ground
effects, and convertible top
(if equipped).
Do not use automatic car
washes due to lack of
clearance for the
undercarriage, wide rear
tires, and wheels.
Caution
To avoid damage to a matte
paint finish, do not use an
automatic car wash
equipped with brushes or
scrubbers. Only use
touchless automatic car
washes.
If using an automatic car wash,
follow the car wash
instructions. The windshield
wiper and rear window wiper,
if equipped, must be off.

460 Vehicle Care
Steering, Suspension, and
Chassis Components
Visually inspect steering,
suspension, and chassis
components for damaged,
loose, or missing parts or signs
of wear at least once a year.
Inspect power steering for
proper attachment,
connections, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc.
Visually check constant
velocity joint boots and axle
seals for leaks.
Body Component
Lubrication
Lubricate all key lock cylinders,
hood hinges, liftgate hinges,
and the steel fuel door hinges,
unless the components are
plastic. Applying silicone
grease on weatherstrips with
a clean cloth will make them
last longer, seal better, and
not stick or squeak.
Underbody Maintenance
Every six months, use plain
water to flush any corrosive
materials from the underbody.
Take care to thoroughly clean
any areas where mud and
other debris can collect.
Do not directly power wash
the transfer case and/or
front/rear axle output seals.
High pressure water can
overcome the seals and
contaminate the fluid.
Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the
transfer case and/or axles and
should be replaced.
Sheet Metal Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and
requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the
body repair shop applies
anti-corrosion material to
parts repaired or replaced to
restore corrosion protection.Original manufacturer
replacement parts will provide
the corrosion protection while
maintaining the vehicle
warranty.
Finish Damage
Quickly repair minor chips and
scratches with touch-up
materials available from your
dealer to avoid corrosion.
Larger areas of finish damage
can be corrected in your
dealer's body and paint shop.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and attack painted
vehicle surfaces causing
blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small,
irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface. See
“Finish Care”
previously in this
section.

{Warning
Do not bleach or dye seat
belt webbing. It may severely
weaken the webbing. In a
crash, they might not be
able to provide adequate
protection. Clean and rinse
seat belt webbing only with
mild soap and lukewarm
water. Allow the webbing
to dry.
Floor Mats
{Warning
If a floor mat is the wrong
size or is not properly
installed, it can interfere
with the pedals. Interference
with the pedals can cause
unintended acceleration
and/or increased stopping
distance which can cause a
crash and injury. Make sure
the floor mat does not
interfere with the pedals.Use the following guidelines
for proper floor mat use.
.The original equipment floor
mats are designed for your
vehicle. If the floor mats
need to be replaced, it is
recommended that
GM-certified floor mats are
purchased. Non-GM floor
mats may not fit properly
and may interfere with the
pedals. Always check that
the floor mats do not
interfere with the pedals.
.Do not use a floor mat if the
vehicle is not equipped with
a floor mat retainer on the
driver side floor.
.Use the floor mat with the
correct side up. Do not turn
it over.
.Do not place anything on top
of the driver side floor mat.
.Use only a single floor mat
on the driver side.
.Do not place one floor mat
on top of another.
The floor mats are held in
place by button-type retainers.
Removing and Replacing
the Floor Mats
1. Pull up on the rear of the floor mat to unlock the
retainers and remove.
2. Reinstall by lining up the floor mat retainer openings
over the carpet retainers
and snap into position.
3. Make sure the floor mat is properly secured in place.
Verify the floor mat does
not interfere with the
pedals.
