Chevrolet Silverado: Wheels and Tires / 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.
Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively.
Warning
Neither tire underinflation nor overinflation is good. Underinflated tires,
or tires that do not have enough air, can result in:
Tire overloading and overheating, which could lead to a blowout...
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check
tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle...
Other information:
The engine air cleaner/filter is on the driver side of the engine compartment.
See Engine Compartment Overview.
When to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
If the vehicle is not equipped with the engine air filter life system see Maintenance
Schedule for intervals on inspecting and replacing the engine air cleaner filter...
Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition key is dangerous and children
or others could be seriously injured or killed. They could operate the power windows
or other controls or make the vehicle move. The windows will function with the keys
in the ignition, and children or others could be caught in the path of a closing
window...
