Warning (Continued)
Replace any tires that have been
damaged by impacts with
potholes, curbs, etc.
Improperly repaired tires can cause
a crash. Only the dealer or an
authorized tire service center
should repair, replace, dismount,
and mount the tires.
Do not spin the tires in excess of
56 km/h on slippery surfaces such
as snow, mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the tires to
explode.

Self-Sealing Tires

This vehicle may have self-sealing tires.
These tires have a material inside that can
seal punctures up to 6 mm (0.25 in) 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.

Summer Tires

This vehicle may come with 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 decrease performance in cold
climates, and on ice and snow. It is
recommended that winter tires be installed
on the vehicle if frequent driving at
Vehicle Care
temperatures below approximately 5° C
(40° F) or on ice or snow covered roads is
expected.
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 0 233.

Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount of air
pressure to operate effectively.
