Vehicle Care

10-61

Vehicles that have a tire
pressure monitoring system
could give an inaccurate
low‐pressure warning if non‐TPC
Spec rated tires are installed
on your vehicle. Non‐TPC
Spec rated tires may give a
low‐pressure warning that is
higher or lower than the proper
warning level you would get with
TPC Spec rated tires. See Tire
Pressure Monitor System on
page 10‑52
.

Your vehicle's original
equipment tires are listed on the
Tire and Loading Information
Label. See Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9‑22
, for more
information about the Tire and
Loading Information Label and
its location on your vehicle.

Different Size Tires and
Wheels

If you add wheels or tires that are a
different size than your original
equipment wheels and tires, this
may affect the way your vehicle
performs, including its braking, ride
and handling characteristics,
stability, and resistance to rollover.
Additionally, if your vehicle has
electronic systems such as,
anti‐lock brakes, rollover airbags,
traction control, and stability control,
the performance of these systems
can be affected.

{

WARNING

If you add different sized
wheels, your vehicle may not
provide an acceptable level of
performance and safety if tires not
recommended for those wheels
are selected. You may increase
the chance that you will crash and
suffer serious injury. Only use
Saturn specific wheel and tire
systems developed for your
vehicle, and have them properly
installed by a Saturn certified
technician.
