about the DIC operation and
displays see Driver Information
Centre (DIC) on page 5 39.
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.
A Tyre and Loading Information
label shows the size of the original
equipment tyres and the correct
inflation pressure for the tyres when
they are cold. See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9 5, for an example
of the Tyre and Loading Information
label and its location. Also see Tyre
Pressure on page 10 36.
The TPMS can warn about a low
tyre pressure condition but it does
not replace normal tyre
maintenance.
Tyre sealant materials are
not all the same. A non-approved
tyre sealant could damage the
TPMS sensors. TPMS sensor
damage caused by using an
incorrect tyre sealant is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always use only the
GM-approved tyre sealant
available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.
Factory-installed Tyre Inflater Kits
use a GM-approved liquid tyre
sealant. Using non-approved tyre
sealants could damage the TPMS
sensors. See Tyre Repair Kit on
page 10 42 for information
regarding the inflator kit materials
and instructions.
Adaptive Threshold Function
(If Equipped)
The TPMS, automatically, detects if
the vehicle is driven with a tyre
pressure appropriate for a load of
up to three people or for a full load.
Turn the engine off to reduce the
tyre pressure.
Vehicle Care
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
flashes for about one minute and
then stays on for the remainder of
the vehicle on/off cycle. A DIC
warning message also displays. The
malfunction light and DIC warning
message come on at each vehicle
on/off cycle until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions
that can cause these to come
on are:
One of the road tyres has been
replaced with the spare tyre,
if the vehicle has one. The spare
tyre does not have a TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light
and DIC message should go off
after the road tyre is replaced
and the sensor matching
process is performed
