Tyre Chains - Cadillac CTS 2013 Owner's Manual

If the wheel leaks air, replace it.
Some aluminium wheels can be
repaired. See your dealer if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of
wheel that is needed.
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 Tyre 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. Tyres can lose air,
and cause loss of control, causing
WARNING (Continued)
a crash. Always use the correct
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for replacement.
Notice: The wrong wheel can
also cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling, speedometer
or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance, and
tyre or tyre chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
Used Replacement Wheels
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.
WARNING
Vehicle Care

Tyre Chains

WARNING
Do not use tyre chains. There is
not enough clearance. Tyre
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 tyre
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 tyre 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. If traction devices are
used, install them on the rear
tyres.
