2007 BUICK RANDEZVOUS ECU

{CAUTION:
The underbody-mounted spare tire needs
to be stored with the valve stem pointing
down. If the spare tire is stored with
the valve stem pointing upwards, its
secondary latch will not work properly and
the spare tire could loosen and suddenly
fall from your vehicle. If this happened
when your vehicle was being driven, the
tire might contact a person or another
vehicle, causing injury and, of course,
damage to itself as well. Be sure the
underbody-mounted spare tire is stored
with its valve stem pointing down.
1. Lay the compact spare tire on the ground at
the rear of the vehicle. Position the compact
spare tire so that the valve stem is pointed
down facing the rear of the vehicle.
2. Lower the cable to the ground. SeeRemoving
the Spare Tire and Tools on page 429.3. Tilt the retainer downward and slip it through
the center hole of the spare tire.
Make sure the retainer is fully seated across
the underside of the wheel.
4. Attach the folding wrench to the hoist shaft.
5. Turn the folding wrench clockwise to lift
the spare tire.
6. When the tire reaches the stabilizer bar, move
the tire over the bar, then continue to turn the
folding wrench clockwise to lift the spare tire.
7. When the tire is almost in the stored position,
turn the tire so that the valve stem is towards
the rear of the vehicle.
This will help when you check and maintain
tire pressure in the spare.
8. Raise the tire fully against the underside of the
vehicle. Continue turning the folding wrench
until you feel more than two clicks. This
indicates that the compact spare tire is secure
and the cable is tight. The spare tire hoist
cannot be overtightened.

9. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push,
pull (A), and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the
tire moves, use the folding wrench to tighten
the cable.
10. Put back all tools as they were stored in
the jack storage compartment and put the
compartment cover back on.
To put the cover back on, slip the tabs on
the side of the cover into the cover opening.
Push the cover in place and push down
the tabs on the cover so that it rests in the
groove. This secures the cover in place.When you replace the compact spare with a
full-size tire, reinstall the bolt-on wheel covers or the
center cap, whichever your vehicle has. Tighten
them hand tight over the wheel nuts, using the
folding wrench.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully inated
when your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a
time. Check the ination pressure regularly.
It should be 60 psi (420 kPa).
After installing the compact spare on your vehicle,
you should stop as soon as possible and make sure
your spare tire is correctly inated. The compact
spare is made to perform well at speeds up to
65 mph (105 km/h) for distances up to 3,000 miles
(5 000 km), so you can nish your trip and have
your full-size tire repaired or replaced where you
want. Of course, it’s best to replace your spare with
a full-size tire as soon as you can. Your spare will
last longer and be in good shape in case you need
it again.
