and start to rise again as
the tire inflates with
air only.
11. 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 0372.
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 (Continued)
Caution (Continued)
should not be driven farther.
The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire
sealant and compressor kit
cannot inflate the tire.
Remove the power plug
from the accessory power
outlet and unscrew the
inflating hose from the tire
valve. See Roadside
Assistance Program 0439.
12. Press the on/off button (5) to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.
The tire is not sealed and
will continue to leak air
until the vehicle is driven
and the sealant is
distributed in the tire.
Therefore, Steps 13–
21 must be done
immediately after Step 12.
Be careful while handling
the tire sealant and
compressor kit as it could
be warm after usage. 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 0439.
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. 24. Wipe off any sealant from
the wheel, tire, or vehicle.
25. Dispose of the used tire sealant canister (4) at a
local dealer or in
accordance with local
state codes and practices.
26. Replace it with a new canister available from
your dealer.
27. After temporarily sealing a tire using the tire sealant
and compressor kit, take
the vehicle to an
authorized dealer within
161 km (100 mi) of driving
to have the tire repaired or
replaced.

404 Vehicle Care
Compact Spare Tire
{Warning
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of
braking and handling. This
could lead to a crash and
you or others could be
injured. Use only one
compact spare tire at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact
spare tire, it was fully inflated
when new; however, it can
lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).
Stop as soon as possible and
check that the spare tire is
correctly inflated after being
installed on the vehicle. The
compact spare tire is designed
for temporary use only. The
vehicle will perform differently
with the spare tire installed
and it is recommended that
the vehicle speed be limited to
80 km/h (50 mph). To conserve the tread of the spare tire,
have the standard tire
repaired or replaced as soon
as convenient and return the
spare tire to the storage area.
When using a compact spare
tire, the AWD (if equipped),
ABS, and Traction Control
systems may engage until the
spare tire is recognized by the
vehicle, especially on slippery
roads. Adjust driving to reduce
possible wheel slip.
Caution
When the compact spare is
installed, do not take the
vehicle through an
automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact
spare can get caught on the
rails which can damage the
tire, wheel, and other parts
of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare
on other vehicles. Do not mix the compact spare
tire or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its
wheel together.
Caution
Tire chains will not fit the
compact spare. Using them
can damage the vehicle and
the chains. Do not use tire
chains on the compact
spare.

If the battery has run down,
try to use another vehicle and
some jumper cables to start
your vehicle. Be sure to use
the following steps to do it
safely.

416 Vehicle Care
Caution
To avoid surface damage on
wheels and wheel trim, do
not use strong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes,
cleaners, or brushes. Use
only GM approved cleaners.
Do not drive the vehicle
through an automatic car
wash that uses silicon
carbide tire/wheel cleaning
brushes. Damage could
occur and the repairs would
not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Brake System
Visually inspect brake lines
and hoses for proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. Inspect disc brake pads
for wear and rotors for
surface condition. Inspect
drum brake linings/shoes for
wear or cracks. Inspect all
other brake parts.
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
At least twice a year, spring
and fall, 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.

Maintenance
Schedule
Tire Rotation and
Required Services Every
12 000 km (7,500 mi)
Tires are rotated to achieve a
more uniform wear for all tires.
The first rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation pressure,
and check for damaged tires
or wheels. If the unusual wear
continues after the rotation,
check the wheel alignment.

Tires0382 and
Wheel Replacement 0387.

Additional Required
Services —Normal
Service
Every 12 000 km (7,500 mi)
.Check engine oil level and oil
life percentage. If needed,
change engine oil and filter,
and reset oil life system. Or
when the CHANGE ENGINE
OIL SOON message displays,
have the engine oil and filter
changed within the next
1 000 km (600 mi). If driven
under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system
may not indicate the need
for vehicle service for up to
a year. The engine oil and
filter must be changed at
least once a year and the oil
life system must be reset.
Your trained dealer
technician can perform this
work. If the engine oil life
system is reset accidentally,
service the vehicle within
5 000 km (3,000 mi) since
the last service. Reset the oil life system when the oil is
changed. See Engine Oil Life
System
0335.
.When the REPLACE AT
NEXT OIL CHANGE
message displays, the engine
air filter should be replaced
at the next engine oil
change. When the REPLACE
ENGINE AIR FILTER SOON
message displays, the engine
air filter should be replaced
at the earliest convenience.
Reset the engine air filter life
system after the engine air
filter is replaced. See Engine
Air Filter Life System 0336.
Every 36 000 km (22,500 mi)
.Passenger compartment air
filter replacement (or every
24 months, whichever
occurs first). More frequent
replacement may be needed

high dust levels or are
sensitive to environmental
allergens. Filter replacement
