For whatever it's worth, my 2020 Equinox Premier with 19" wheels has 35 PSI for the sticker. Because we live in the snowy north and the tire pressures will drop about 5 PSI from summer to winter. I pump mine up to 40 PSI about September or October and they drop to 35-36 in the coldest months. I...

Already discussed in this thread: https://www.chevyequinoxforum.com/threads/2025-psi-41.4893/ The detailed answer, by me. :) : https://www.chevyequinoxforum.com/threads/2025-psi-41.4893/#post-23949 - It's because of the tire size, 17" versus 19". The smaller tires need more air to support the...

I would be surprised if it just worked. The heated steering wheel usually is part of a specific options package and that probably requires specific programming.

Please do not go the "friendly route" only. That's not being friendly and you are not squealing on anyone. The law mandates that GM is supposed to self-report such defects to the NHTSA but you're working with a dealer, not the vehicle manufacturer. I've seen full-blown recalls done where an...

So what exactly does that "maximum pressure" that is molded into the tire sidewall mean? Because it is not the maximum pressure that should ever be in the tire. The pressure molded into the tire sidewall means "This tire needs this much pressure in the tire WHEN COLD in order for the tire to...

Nice. I like people that actually pay attention to what's going on with their vehicles. :) The formula is a 2% pressure change for each 10 F of temperature change. If a tire is at 35 PSI at 85 F and the temp drops to 25 F, a 60 F change, the tires will be about 4 PSI lower. 35 * 0.02 = 0.7 0.7...

Because someone decided to fill the tires from memory instead of checking the sticker. It could even have been someone who was supposed to check the tires and said "Whoa! Some idiot at the factory way over-filled these tires. I need to let some air out!" A tire that is 20% under-inflated is...

Good to know, thanks. My used 2020 has Surround Vision, the 360-degree camera system, but I would never have paid for that myself. Now that I've had it, like a heated steering wheel, I will always buy it. That makes parking in tight spaces far, far easier.

Yup, we don't know what we don't know. I have read the stories of people who moved to the National Radio Quiet Zone centered on Green Bank, WV. The use of radio transmitters is controlled closely, generally banned, so their emissions do not interfere with the radio telescopes. They claim the ill...

And I'm not surprised by your answer. :) I worked on high power RF and electrical systems my entire working life, almost half a century. Just because something can be measured does not mean it is impactful. The EU sets limits from 0 hertz (DC) to 3 GHz, or 3,000,000,000 hertz (cycles pr second)...

Everything electronic generates electromagnetic radiation. I used to work on radio transmitters in the multi-kilowatt range and I have been exposed to EMF levels way, way above that with no ill effects. When I did field strength measurements I routinely measured intensities above 1 volt per...

The original articles said the 2.0 L was only supposed to be eliminated for 2021 with a different 2.0L planned for 2022 and later. Then Covid hit. Depending on which article you read, the 2.0L was only selected between 8% and 12% of the time. Switching to a single engine greatly simplifies the...

For vehicles of 10,000 lbs GVWR or less the tire pressure is governed by FMVSS 110, a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard governing the selection of tires and rims to avoid overloading of the vehicle. The pressures shown on the sticker are not just something the vehicle manufacturer pulled out...

Unless he's trying to kill the Auto Stop. Then he can use L but since it's a 2.0L he should bump it up to L9 because, you know, it's a 9-speed with that engine.

Because Chevy's dinghy towing instructions do not address that. I have a step in my 2020's checklist to turn the headlight AUTO function off after each engine start. The AUTO headlight control gets enabled each time the engine is started.

Nope. At the dealer we took the 1.5L for a test drive up a short, steep interstate entrance ramp with just me and the wife. It was during rush hour and I realized I probably was not going to be at the speed limit at the top of the ramp even when floored. It barely got there. But then I had to...

Good work, folks. I read a thread from someone with a pre-2018 Terrain who traded it in for a new one without checking the Owners Manual first. The 2018 and later Terrain got a new electronic shifter that made it not flat towable. He tried everything he could think of but no avail. That was a...

We have the larger screen, 8" I think, and Chevy piled a lot of functionality into ours well beyond "just a radio". There's also like 17 modules in ours that can have firmware updates done by a dealer. If that is a real Chevy dealer then they can give you the entire history of the VIN regardless...

Is it the original battery? The dealer may have had the battery on a charger right up until you saw it. I just replaced the original battery in my 2020. The car started and ran fine but for the past several months the Auto Start/Stop would only work after a long interstate drive, an hour or...

Sorry, I'm not following. Was your Equinox towing a trailer or was your Equinox being towed by something like a motorhome? When being towed by a motorhome the maximum speed is 65 MPH, not 55 MPH (except you know, in California...).
