cold tire inflation pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the
inflation pressure is low, add air
until the recommended pressure is reached. If the inflation pressure
is high, press on the metal stem in the center of the tire valve to
release air.
Recheck the tire pressure with the tire gauge.
Put the valve caps back on the
valve stems to keep out dirt and moisture and prevent leaks. Use only valve caps designed for the vehicle by GM. TPMS sensors
could be damaged and would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{ Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts additional strain on tires. Sustained
high-speed driving causes excessive heat buildup and can cause sudden tire failure. This could cause a
crash, and you or others could be killed. Some high-speed rated tires require inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
operation. When speed limits and
road conditions allow the vehicle to be driven at high speeds, make sure the tires are rated for high-speed
operation, are in excellent
condition, and are set to the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
Gasoline only models with 235/
50R18 97V or 245/45R19 98V size
tires require inflation pressure
adjustment when driving the vehicle
at speeds of 160 km/h (100 mph) or
higher. Set the cold inflation pressure for all four tires to 270 kPa (39 psi).
Gasoline only models with 245/
40R20 95W size tires require inflation pressure adjustment when driving the vehicle at speeds of
160 km/h (100 mph) or higher. Set the cold inflation pressure to
290 kPa (42 psi).
Gasoline only models with 245/
40ZR20 95Y size tires require inflation pressure adjustment when driving the vehicle at speeds of
160 km/h (100 mph) or higher. Set the cold inflation pressure for the front
tires to 240 kPa (35 psi) and the rear tires to 260 kPa (38 psi).
PLUG-IN models with 235/50R18 97V and 265/45R18 101V size tires require inflation pressure adjustment when
driving the vehicle at speeds of
160 km/h (100 mph) or higher. Set the cold inflation pressure to 290
kPa (42 psi).
