Tyre Pressure - Cadillac 2015 SRX Owner's Manual

Tyre Pressure

Tyres need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.
Caution
Neither tyre underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tyres, or tyres
that do not have enough air,
can result in:
Tyre overloading and
overheating which could
lead to a blowout.
Premature or
irregular wear.
Poor handling.
Reduced fuel economy.
Caution (Continued)
Overinflated tyres, or tyres
that have too much air, can
result in:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
The Tyre and Loading
Information label on the vehicle
indicates the original equipment
tyres and the correct cold tyre
inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is the
minimum air pressure needed to
support the vehicle's maximum
(Continued)
load carrying capacity. See
Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9-8.
Vehicle Care
How the vehicle is loaded
affects vehicle handling and ride
comfort. Never load the vehicle
with more weight than it was
designed to carry.
When to Check
Check the tyres once a month or
more. Do not forget the compact
spare, if the vehicle has one.
The cold compact spare tyre
pressure should be at 420 kPa
(60 psi). See Compact Spare
Tyre on page 10-71.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check tyre pressure.
Proper tyre inflation cannot be
determined by looking at the
tyre. Check the tyre inflation
pressure when the tyres are
cold, meaning the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three
hours or no more than
1.6 km (1 mi).
