In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for
the front outboard passenger
position, which includes
sensors that are part of the
passenger seat. The
passenger sensing system
may not operate properly if
the original seat trim is
replaced with non-GM covers,
upholstery, or trim; or with GM
covers, upholstery, or trim
designed for a different
vehicle. Any object, such as an
aftermarket seat heater or a
comfort-enhancing pad or
device, installed under or on
top of the seat fabric, could
also interfere with the
operation of the passenger
sensing system. This could
either prevent proper
deployment of the passenger
airbag(s) or prevent the
passenger sensing system
from properly turning off the
passenger airbag(s). See
Passenger Sensing System
066. If the vehicle has rollover
roof-rail airbags, see Different
Size Tires and Wheels
0352
for additional important
information.

“Steps for Determining
Correct Load Limit– 1.
Locate the statement
"The combined weight of
occupants and cargo
should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs." on
your vehicle’s placard.
2.Determine the combined
weight of the driver and
passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.
3.Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kg
or XXX lbs.
4.The resulting figure
equals the available
amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five
150 lb passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and

Certification/Tire Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific
Certification/Tire label is
attached to the center
pillar (B-pillar).
The label may show the
size of the vehicle's original
tires and the inflationpressures needed to obtain
the gross weight capacity
of the vehicle. The label
shows the gross weight
capacity of the vehicle. This
is called the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). The
GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle, all
occupants, and cargo.
The Certification/Tire label
may also show the
maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called
the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on the
front and rear axles, weigh
the vehicle at a weigh
station. Your dealer can
help with this. Be sure to
spread the load equally on
both sides of the
centerline.

roads is expected. All-season
tires provide adequate
performance for most winter
driving conditions, but they
may not offer the same level
of traction or performance as
winter tires on snow or
ice-covered roads. See Winter
Tires0336.
Winter Tires
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tires.
Winter tires are designed for
increased traction on snow
and ice-covered roads.
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your
dealer for details regarding
winter tire availability and
proper tire selection. Also, see
Buying New Tires 0350.
With winter tires, there may
be decreased dry road
traction, increased road noise,
and shorter tread life. After changing to winter tires, be
alert for changes in vehicle
handling and braking.
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.
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
and screws, in the tread area.
The tire may lose air pressure if the sidewall is damaged or
the tread puncture is too
large. If the Tire Pressure
Monitor System indicates the
tire pressure is low, inspect
the tire for damage and inflate
it to the recommended
pressure. If the tire is unable
to maintain the recommended
pressure, contact the nearest
authorized GM servicing
facility immediately for
inspection and repair or
replacement. To locate the
nearest GM servicing facility,
call GM Customer Assistance.
Caution
Do not drive on a deflated
self-sealing tire as this could
damage the tire. Make sure
the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure or
have it immediately repaired
or replaced.
When tire replacement is
needed replace with a
self-sealing tire, because the

vehicle does not come with a
spare tire or tire changing
equipment.
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has
265/50R20 or 275/40R22
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 (Continued)
Caution (Continued)
possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.
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
service description. See the
“Tire Size” illustration later
in this section.
(2) TPC Spec (Tire
Performance Criteria
Specification)
:Original
equipment tires designed
to GM's specific tire
performance criteria have a
TPC specification code
molded onto the sidewall.
GM's TPC specifications
meet or exceed all federal
safety guidelines.
(3) DOT (Department of
Transportation)
:The
Department of
Transportation (DOT) code
indicates that the tire is in
compliance with the U.S.

2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
338 Vehicle Care
Department of
Transportation Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards.
DOT Tire Date of
Manufacture
:The last
four digits of the TIN
indicate the tire
manufactured date. The
first two digits represent
the week and the last two
digits, the year. For
example, the third week of
the year 2020 would have
a 4-digit DOT date of 0320.
Week 01 is the first full
week (Sunday through
Saturday) of each year.
(4) Tire Identification
Number (TIN)
:The letters
and numbers following the
DOT code are the Tire
Identification Number (TIN).
The TIN shows the
manufacturer and plant
code, tire size, and date the
tire was manufactured. The TIN is molded onto both
sides of the tire, although
only one side may have the
date of manufacture.
(5) Tire Ply Material
:The
type of cord and number of
plies in the sidewall and
under the tread.
(6) Uniform Tire Quality
Grading (UTQG)
:Tire
manufacturers are required
to grade tires based on
three performance factors:
treadwear, traction, and
temperature resistance.
For more information, see
Uniform Tire Quality
Grading 0352.
(7) Maximum Cold
Inflation Load Limit
:
Maximum load that can be
carried and the maximum
pressure needed to
support that load.
Tire Designations
Tire Size
The example shows a
typical passenger vehicle
tire size.
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire
(1) Passenger (P-Metric)
Tire

(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.
