Tire Pressure - GMC Terrain 2011 Owner's Manual

Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.
Notice: Do not let anyone tell
you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It is
not. If the tires do not have
enough air (underinflation),
you can get the following:
Tire overloading and
over-heating which could
lead to a blowout.
Premature or
irregular wear.
Poor handling.
Reduced fuel economy.
If the tires have too much air
(overinflation), you can get the
following:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
A vehicle-specific Tire and
Loading Information label is
attached to your vehicle.
This label shows your vehicle's
original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressures for
your tires when they are cold.
The recommended cold tire
inflation pressure, shown on the
label, is the minimum amount of
air pressure needed to support
your vehicle's maximum load
carrying capacity.

For additional information
regarding how much weight
your vehicle can carry, and an
example of the Tire and Loading
Information label, see Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9 22.
How you load your vehicle
affects vehicle handling and
ride comfort. Never load your
vehicle with more weight than it
was designed to carry.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month
or more. Do not forget to
check the compact spare tire,
if the vehicle has one.
The compact spare should
be at 420 kPa (60 psi).
For additional information
regarding the compact
spare tire, see Compact Spare
Tire on page 10 79.
