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:
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
Braking Skid — wheels are not
rolling.
Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering in a
curve causes tires to slip and
lose cornering force...
Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to
be seriously injured if they do not
wear seat belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap
portion should be worn as low as
possible, below the rounding,
throughout the pregnancy...
