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.

420 Vehicle Care
If using winter tires:
.Use tires of the same brand
and tread type on all four
wheel positions.
.Use only radial ply tires of
the same size, load range,
and speed rating as the
original equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tires may not be
available for H, V, W, Y, and ZR
speed rated tires. If winter
tires with a lower speed rating
are chosen, never exceed the
tire's maximum speed
capability.
Run-Flat Tires
This vehicle, when new, may
have had run-flat tires. There
is no spare tire, no tire
changing equipment, and no
place to store a tire in the
vehicle.
{Warning
While driving with run-flat
tires at a reduced inflation
pressure, avoid making
sudden stops or severe
maneuvers as the handling
capabilities of the tires will
be reduced. Driving too fast
could cause loss of control
and you or others could be
injured. Do not drive over
80 km/h (50 mph) with the
tire operating at low
pressure. Drive cautiously
and check the tire pressure
as soon as possible.
Run-flat tires can be driven up
to 80 km (50 mi) at speeds
less than 80 km/h (50 mph)
after a loss of inflation
pressure has occurred. There
is no need to stop on the side
of the road to change the tire.
The possible driving range
after a pressure loss will vary
based on the vehicle load and
driving conditions. As soon as possible, contact the nearest
authorized GM or run-flat
servicing facility for inspection
and repair or replacement.
When driving on a deflated
run-flat tire, avoid potholes
and other road hazards that
could damage the tire and/or
wheel beyond repair. When a
tire has been damaged, or if
driven any distance while
deflated, check with an
authorized run-flat tire service
center to determine whether
the tire can be repaired or
should be replaced. To
maintain the run-flat feature,
all replacement tires must be
run-flat tires.
To locate the nearest GM or
run-flat servicing facility, call
Customer Assistance.
Self-Sealing Tires
This vehicle may have
self-sealing tires. These tires
have a material inside that can
seal punctures from common
road hazards, such as nails

436 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.
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
0427
and
Vehicle Load Limits 0261.
Reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor
Operation 0431.
Check that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications 0482.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel,
or on the parts to which it
is fastened, can cause
wheel nuts to become
loose over time. The
wheel could come off and
cause a crash. When
changing a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
an emergency, a cloth or
paper 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.
{Warning
Do not apply grease to
the wheel mounting
surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts
or bolts. Grease applied
to these areas could
cause a wheel to become
loose or come off,
resulting in a crash.

Vehicle Care 443
Warning (Continued)
If traction devices are used,
install them on the tires of
the drive axle only.
If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blow
out while driving, especially if
the tires are maintained
properly. If air goes out of a
tire, it is much more likely to
leak out slowly. See Tires
0418 for additional
information. But if there ever
is a blowout, here are a few
tips about what to expect and
what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire
creates a drag that pulls the
vehicle toward that side. Take
your foot off the accelerator
pedal and grip the steering
wheel firmly. Steer to maintain
lane position, and then gently
brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible. A rear blowout, particularly on
a curve, acts much like a skid
and may require the same
correction as used in a skid.
Stop pressing the accelerator
pedal and steer to straighten
the vehicle. It may be very
bumpy and noisy. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.
The vehicle has no spare tire,
no tire changing equipment,
and no place to store a tire.
If the vehicle has run-flat tires,
there is no need to stop on
the side of the road to change
a flat tire. See Run-Flat Tires
0
420.
If the vehicle has self-sealing
tires, see Self-Sealing Tires
0 420. Tread punctures
typically will not cause tires to
lose air. However, if the vehicle
does get a flat tire, there is no
spare tire, tire changing
equipment, or place to store a
tire. Contact Roadside
Assistance for help.
{Warning
Driving on a flat tire will
cause permanent damage to
the tire. Re-inflating a tire
after it has been driven on
while severely underinflated
or flat may cause a blowout
and a serious crash. Never
attempt to re-inflate a tire
that has been driven on
while severely underinflated
or flat. Have your dealer or
an authorized tire service
center repair or replace the
flat tire as soon as possible.
{Warning
Special tools and
procedures are required to
service a run-flat tire.
If these special tools and
procedures are not used,
injury or vehicle damage may
occur. Always be sure the
proper tools and
