Vehicle Care 9-63
When a low tire pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tire pressure warning light
located on the instrument panel
cluster. If the warning light comes
on, stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the tire loading
information label. See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 8‑11.
At the same time a message to
check the pressure 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. Using
the DIC, tire pressure levels can be
viewed by the driver. For additional
information and details about the
DIC operation and displays see
Driver Information Center (DIC)
on
page 4‑29
.
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 Vehicle Load Limits
on
page 8‑11
, for an example of the
Tire and Loading Information label
and its location on your vehicle.

Your vehicle's TPMS can warn you
about a low tire pressure condition
but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire Inspection
on page 9‑66
, Tire Rotation
on
page 9‑66
and Tires on page 9‑52.
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.
Factory-installed Tire Inflator Kits
use a GM approved liquid tire
sealant. Using non-approved tire
sealants could damage the TPMS
sensors. See Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit (Without Selector
Switch)
on page 9‑76
or Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit (With
Selector Switch)
on page 9‑84
for
information regarding the inflator kit
materials and instructions.
