occur with moving vehicles in
the side blind zone (or spot)
areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror
and will flash if the turn signal
is on.
{Warning
LCA does not alert the
driver to vehicles outside of
the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not
provide alerts when
changing lanes under all
driving conditions. Failure to
use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
injury, death, or vehicle
damage. Before making a
lane change, always check
mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn
signals.LCA Detection Zones1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone
of approximately one lane over
from both sides of the vehicle,
or 3.5 m (11 ft). The height of
the zone is approximately
between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m
(6 ft) off the ground. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
warning area starts at
approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m
(16 ft). Drivers are also warned
of vehicles rapidly
approaching from up to 70 m
(230 ft) behind the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in
the outside mirrors when the
system detects a moving
vehicle in the next lane over
that is in the side blind zone or
rapidly approaching that zone
from behind. A lit LCA symbol
indicates it may be unsafe to
change lanes. Before making a
lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance
over your shoulder, and use
the turn signals.

Doing Your Own
Service Work
{Warning
It can be dangerous to work
on your vehicle if you do not
have the proper knowledge,
service manual, tools,
or parts. Always follow
owner’s manual procedures
and consult the service
manual for your vehicle
before doing any
service work. If doing some of your own
service work, use the proper
service manual. It tells you
much more about how to
service the vehicle than this
manual can. To order the
proper service manual, see
Publication Ordering
Information
0496.
This vehicle has an airbag
system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see
Servicing the Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle 077.

Vehicle Care 401
To help reduce squeal, high
performance brake pads are
treated with an anti-squeal
paste that may need to be
reapplied periodically as part
of normal vehicle maintenance.
The anti-squeal paste will
dissipate over time. Also, the
use of wheel cleaners or
power washers directly on the
brake calipers may remove the
anti-squeal paste from the
brake pads. It may be
necessary to reapply the
anti-squeal paste if it is
removed during cleaning.
If brake squeal is excessive,
the anti-squeal paste should
be reapplied. The anti-squeal
paste should always be
reapplied whenever the brake
pads are removed or replaced.
See your dealer for service.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake
pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there is arapid 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 can change in
many ways if the wrong brake
parts are installed or if parts
are improperly installed.
The Brake Fade Warning
Assist system is designed for
use with the factory-installed
brake pads or GM approved
replacement pads. If the brake
pads on the vehicle need to be
replaced, use GM-approved
brake pads. If this is not done,
the brake fade warning
system may not function
properly.
High Performance Brake
Lining Car Wash and
Extended Parking Care
If equipped with high
performance brake
components, binding or
clunking may be noticeable
after extended parking or in
cold weather when the brakes
have been wet, such as when
driving in the rain or after a
car wash. The clunking is
normal for brakes with high
performance brake linings and
does not affect the operation
of the brakes. When driving,
normal braking will allow for
the brakes to feel smooth and
the clunking to go away. If the
vehicle is washed before
overnight parking or long term
storage, drive it and apply the
brakes several times to
thoroughly dry the brakes.

Summer Tires
High Performance Summer
Tires
This vehicle may come
with may come with
245/40ZR19 94Y,
275/35ZR19 (100Y),
or 305/30ZR19 (102Y) high
performance summer tires.
These tires have a special
tread and compound that are
optimized for maximum dry
and wet road performance.
This special tread and
compound will have decreased
performance in cold climates,
and on ice and snow. It is
recommended that winter
tires be installed on the
vehicle if frequent driving at
temperatures below
approximately 5 °C (40 °F) oron ice or snow covered roads
is expected. See Winter Tires

419.
Caution
High performance summer
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
high performance summer
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 5 °C (40 °F) for
24 hours or more before
being installed or driving a
vehicle on which they are
installed. Do not apply heat
or blow heated air directly
on the tires. Always inspect
tires before use. See Tire
Inspection 0435.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
Useful information about a
tire is molded into its
sidewall. The example
shows a typical passenger
tire sidewall.
Passenger Tire Example
(1) Tire Size:The tire size
is a combination of letters
and numbers used to
define a particular tire's
width, height, aspect ratio,
construction type, and

424 Vehicle Care
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire
(1) Passenger (P-Metric)
Tire
:The United States
version of a metric tire
sizing system. The letter
"P" as the first character in
the tire size means a
passenger vehicle tire
engineered to standards
set by the U.S. Tire and Rim
Association.
(2) Tire Width
:The 3-digit
number indicates the tire
section width in millimeters
from sidewall to sidewall.
(3) Aspect Ratio
:A 2-digit
number that indicates the
tire height-to-width
measurements. For
example, if the tire size aspect ratio is 75, as
shown in item (3) of the
illustration, it would mean
that the tire's sidewall is
75 percent as high as it
is wide.
(4) Construction Code
:A
letter code is used to
indicate the type of ply
construction in the tire. The
letter "R" means radial ply
construction; the letter "D"
means diagonal or bias ply
construction.
(5) Rim Diameter
:
Diameter of the wheel in
inches.
(6) Service Description
:
These characters
represent the load index
and speed rating of the
tire. The load index
represents the load
carrying capacity a tire is
certified to carry. The speed rating is the
maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure:The amount
of air inside the tire
pressing outward on each
square inch of the tire. Air
pressure is expressed
in kPa (kilopascal) or psi
(pounds per square inch).
Aspect Ratio
:The
relationship of a tire's
height to its width.
Belt
:A rubber coated layer
of cords that is located
between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made
from steel or other
reinforcing materials.

442 Vehicle Care
Each new wheel should have
the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the
same way as the one it
replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts,
wheel nuts, or Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original
equipment parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong
replacement wheels, wheel
bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect
the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control,
resulting in a crash. Always
use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a
used one is dangerous. How
it has been used or how far
it has been driven may be
unknown. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use
a new GM original
equipment wheel.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also
cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer
calibration, headlamp aim,
bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or
tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
Tire Chains
{Warning
Do not use tire chains. There
is not enough clearance. Tire
chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount
of clearance can cause
damage to the brakes,
suspension, or other vehicle
parts. The area damaged by
the tire chains could cause
loss of control and a crash.
Use another type of traction
device only if its
manufacturer recommends
it for the vehicle's tire size
combination and road
conditions. Follow that
manufacturer's instructions.
To avoid vehicle damage,
drive slowly and readjust or
remove the traction device if
it contacts the vehicle. Do
not spin the wheels.(Continued)
