Vehicle Care
come on at each ignition cycle until
the tyres are inflated to the correct
inflation pressure. Using the DIC, it
may be possible to view the tyre
pressure levels. For additional
information and details about the
DIC operation and displays, see
Driver Information Centre (DIC) on
page 5-21.
The low tyre pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
The tyre placard shows the size of
the original equipment tyres and the
correct inflation pressure for the
tyres when they are cold. See Tyre
Pressure on page 10-37.
The TPMS can warn about a low
tyre pressure condition, but it does
not replace normal tyre
maintenance. See Tread Depth on
page 10-41, Tyre Rotation on
page 10-42, and Buying New Tyres
on page 10-42.
Caution
Tyre sealant materials are not all
the same. A non-approved tyre
sealant could damage the TPMS
sensors.
Always use only the
GM-approved tyre sealant
available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.
Factory-installed Tyre Inflator Kits
use a GM approved liquid tyre
sealant. Using non-approved tyre
sealants could damage the TPMS
sensors. See Tyre Sealant and
Compressor Kit on page 10-43 for
information regarding the inflator kit
materials and instructions.
TPMS Malfunction Light and
Message
The TPMS will not function properly
if one or more of the TPMS sensors
are missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, the
low tyre pressure warning light,
defined above, flashes for about
one minute and then stays on for
the remainder of the ignition cycle.
A DIC warning message may also
display. The malfunction light and
DIC warning message, if equipped,
come on at each ignition cycle until
the problem is corrected. Some of
the conditions that can cause these
to come on are:
The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tyres. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message, if equipped, should go
off after successfully completing
the sensor matching process.
See "TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
