Tire Pressure Monitor
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you when a significant reduction in pressure occurs in
one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illuminating the Low Tire Pressure warning
light on the instrument cluster. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is
corrected. The proper tire pressures for your vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading
Information label, located below the driver’s door latch.
You may notice during cooler conditions that the low tire pressure warning light will
appear when the vehicle is first started and then turn off as you drive. This may be an
early indicator that your tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to
the proper pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’t replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures.
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
The tire sealant and compressor kit can be used to temporarily seal small punctures in
the tread area of the tire. The kit is located under the trunk floor. Refer to the tire inflator
kit instructions for complete operating information.
Snow Tires
Your vehicle features rear-wheel drive and may be equipped with “summer” perfor mance
tires that offer excellent handling on dry roads. However, during winter months, it’s
recommended to switch to snow tires that will provide additional traction in poor weather
conditions. See your Chevrolet dealer for information about recommended snow tires.
TIRES
The vehicle battery is located below the trunk floor. Jump-start positive and negative posts
are located under the hood on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM
The Oil Life System calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and illuminates the
Change Engine Oil light in the instrument cluster when it’s necessary to change
the engine oil and filter. The Oil Life System should be reset to 100% only following an
oil change.
Resetting the Oil Life System
1. Turn on the ignition, with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds.
3. Turn off the ignition.
