Fault

  • General Motors does not oppose the use of purified nitrogen as an inflation gas for tires.

    the passage
    General Motors does not oppose the use of purified nitrogen as an inflation gas for tires.
  • Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules and are therefore less prone to seeping through the tire casing.

    the passage
    Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules and, therefore, are less prone to “seeping” through the tire casing.

Correction

Caution

  • Even occasional inflation with compressed atmospheric air will negate many of the theoretical benefits.

    the passage
    Even occasional inflation with compressed atmospheric air will negate many of the theoretical benefits.
  • Non GM valve stem caps can lose sealing at the cap, which may allow contaminants or water into the valve stem.

    the passage
    Important: The use of non GM valve stem caps can result in a loss of sealing at the cap. This may allow contaminants/water into the valve stem.
  • These contaminants can damage or destroy the TPMS, and such damage would not be covered by the GM New Vehicle Warranty.

    the passage
    These contaminants can damage/destroy the TPMS and such damage caused by leakage of contaminants would not be covered by the GM New Vehicle Warranty.
  • Whether the tires are inflated with atmospheric air or nitrogen, maintaining inflation pressure is critical for overall tire and vehicle performance.

    the passage
    Regardless of the inflation media for tires (atmospheric air or nitrogen), inflation pressure maintenance of tires is critical for overall tire, and ultimately, vehicle performance.
