Tire Pressure Monitor Operation This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when a low tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted onto each tire and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tire and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the vehicle's tires and transmits the tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. The TPMS is designed to alert the driver if a low tire pressure condition exists. Tire pressure levels may also be checked using the Driver Information Center (DIC) steering wheel control buttons. See "Tire Pressures" under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-42. When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the TPMS will illuminate the low tire pressure warning light located on the instrument panel cluster. For additional information and details about the DIC operation and displays see DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-42 and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45. The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as you start to drive. This could be an early indicator that the air pressure in the tire(s) are getting low and need to be inflated to the proper pressure. A Tire and Loading Information label, attached to your vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle's original equipment tires and the correct inflation pressure for your vehicle's tires when they are cold. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-65. For the location of the Tire and Loading Information label, see Loading the Vehicle on page 4-21. Also see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-65. Your vehicle's TPMS can alert you about a low tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire maintenance. See Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 5-72 and Tires on page 5-59. Notice: Using non-approved tire sealants could damage the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors. TPMS sensor damage caused by using an incorrect tire sealant is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Always use the GM approved tire sealant available through your dealer/retailer. At the same time a message to check the pressure in a specific tire appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. The low tire pressure warning light and the DIC warning message come on at each ignition cycle until the tires are inflated to the correct inflation pressure. 5-69
