GMC Terrain: Wheels and Tires / Tire Inspection
We recommend that the tires,
including the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, be inspected
for signs of wear or damage at
least once a month.
Replace the tire if:
- The indicators at three or
more places around the tire
can be seen.
- There is cord or fabric
showing through the tire's
rubber.
- The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show cord or
fabric.
- The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
- The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot
be repaired well because of
the size or location of the
damage.
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...
Tires should be rotated every
12 000 km (7,500 mi). See
Maintenance Schedule.
Tires are rotated to achieve a
more uniform wear for all tires.
The first rotation is the most
important...
Other information:
Braking action involves perception
time and reaction time. Deciding to
push the brake pedal is perception
time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is
about three-quarters of a second. In
that time, a vehicle moving at
100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20m
(66 ft), which could be a lot of
distance in an emergency...
What to Use
When windshield washer fluid is
needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions before

area where the temperature may fall
below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing...
