Wheel Alignment and Tyre
Balance
The tyres and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tyre life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tyre balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is unusual tyre
wear or the vehicle is significantly pulling to
one side or the other. Some slight pull to
the left or right, depending on the camber
of the road and/or other road surface
variations such as troughs or ruts, is normal.
If the vehicle is vibrating when driving on a
smooth road, the tyres and wheels may
need to be rebalanced. See your Cadillac
Service Centre for proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked,
or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it. Some aluminium
wheels can be repaired. See your Cadillac
Service Centre if any of these conditions
exist.
Your Cadillac Service Centre will know the
kind of wheel that is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts,
or Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original equipment
parts.

Warning
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control, resulting in a
crash. Always use the correct wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
{
Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used one is
dangerous. How it has been used or how
far it has been driven may be unknown.

Warning (Continued)
It could fail suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use a new GM
original equipment wheel.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tyre or tyre chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
Tyre Traction Devices
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped with tyre size
275/45R21, use tyre winter traction
devices only where legal and only when
necessary. Only use textile traction
devices, such as tyre snow socks, that are
the proper size for the tyres. Install them
on the tyres of the front axle only. Drive
slowly and follow the traction device
manufacturer's instructions. Driving too
