Tires
Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires
made by a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever
have questions about your tire warranty and where
to obtain service, see your GM Warranty booklet for
details. For additional information refer to the tire
manufacturer’s booklet included with your vehicle.

If you must replace your vehicle’s tires with those
that do not have a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load range, speed
rating, and construction type (radial and
bias-belted tires) as your vehicle’s original tires.
Vehicles that have a tire pressure monitoring
system may give an inaccurate low-pressure
warning if non-TPC spec rated tires are installed
on your vehicle. Non-TPC Spec rated tires
may give a low-pressure warning that is higher or
lower than the proper warning level you would
get with TPC Spec rated tires. SeeTire Pressure
Monitor System on page 410.
Your vehicle’s original equipment tires are listed
on the Tire and Loading Information Label.
This label is attached to the vehicle’s center pillar
(B-pillar). SeeLoading Your Vehicle on page 322,
for more information about the Tire and Loading
Information Label and its location on your vehicle.
Different Size Tires and Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are a different size
than your original equipment wheels and tires,
this may affect the way your vehicle performs,including its braking, ride and handling
characteristics, stability, and resistance to rollover.
Additionally, if your vehicle has electronic
systems such as, anti-lock brakes, traction control,
and electronic stability control, the performance
of these systems can be affected.
{CAUTION:
If you add different sized wheels, your
vehicle may not provide an acceptable
level of performance and safety if tires not
recommended for those wheels are
selected. You may increase the chance
that you will crash and suffer serious
injury. Only use GM specic wheel and
tire systems developed for your vehicle,
and have them properly installed by a GM
certied technician.
SeeBuying New Tires on page 416and
Accessories and Modications on page 347for
additional information.

CAUTION: (Continued)
3. Turn off the engine and do not restart
while the vehicle is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to remain in
the vehicle.
To be even more certain the vehicle will
not move, you should put blocks at the
front and rear of the tire farthest away
from the one being changed. That would
be the tire, on the other side, at the
opposite end of the vehicle.When your vehicle has a at tire, use the following
example as a guide to assist you in the placement
of wheel blocks.
The following information will tell you next how to
use the jack and change a tire.

Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The equipment you will need is located in the
rear of the vehicle. To access the equipment, do
the following:
1. Remove the storage bin to access the jack
if your vehicle has the cargo management
system.
If your vehicle has the third row seat, remove
the head rest storage tray to access the jack.
2. Turn the wing nut (A) holding the jack (B) (and
storage tray, if applicable) counterclockwise
and remove it.

Removing the Spare Tire
The compact spare tire is located under the
vehicle, ahead of the rear bumper. SeeCompact
Spare Tire on page 442for more information
about the compact spare.
To remove the spare tire from the vehicle, do the
following:
A. Wheel Wrench
B. Cable
C. Retainer
D. Compact Spare Tire1. Open the liftgate. SeePower Liftgate on
page 104for more information.
2. Open the storage compartment door of the
cargo management system that is nearest
the liftgate and remove the container.
3. Attach the wheel wrench (A) into the hoist
shaft.
4. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to
lower the spare tire to the ground. Continue
turning the wrench until the spare tire (D) can
be pulled out from under the vehicle.
427

5. Tilt the retainer (C) and slip it through the
wheel opening to remove the spare tire
from the cable (B).
6. Turn the wrench clockwise until you feel two
slips or hear two clicks after removing the
spare tire to raise the cable back up.
Do not store a full-size or a at road tire under
the vehicle. SeeStoring a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools on page 439.To continue changing the at tire, seeRemoving
the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on
page 429.
If the spare tire will not lower, the secondary latch
may be engaged causing the tire not to lower.
Do the following to check the cable:
1. Check under the
vehicle to see if the
cable is visible. If
it is not visible, see
Secondary Latch
System on
page 436.
428

2. If it is visible, rst try to tighten the cable by
turning the wheel wrench clockwise until you
hear two clicks or feel it skip twice. You
cannot over-tighten the cable.
3. Loosen the cable then by turning the wrench
counterclockwise three or four turns.
4. Tighten the cable all the way and then loosen
it at least two times, if the spare tire has not
lowered.
If the spare tire did lower to the ground,
continue with Step 4 underRemoving the
Spare Tire and Tools on page 426.
If you still cannot lower the spare tire to the
ground, seeSecondary Latch System on
page 436.Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
To remove the at tire and install the spare, do
the following:
1. Loosen the wheel nuts, but do not remove
them yet, using the wheel wrench. Turn the
handle about 180 degrees, then ip the handle
back to the starting position. This avoids
taking the wrench off the lug nut for each turn.
