Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has
been used or how far it has been driven. It
could fail suddenly and cause a crash. If
you have to replace a wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
{CAUTION:
If your vehicle has P255/50R20 size tires,
do not use tire chains. They can damage
your vehicle because there is not enough
clearance. Tire chains used on a vehicle
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
without the proper amount of clearance
can cause damage to the brakes,
suspension, or other vehicle parts. The
area damaged by the tire chains could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle
and you or others may be injured in a
crash.
Use another type of traction device only if
its manufacturer recommends it for use
on your vehicle and tire size combination
and road conditions. Follow that
manufacturer’s instructions.To help avoid
damage to your vehicle, drive slowly,
readjust or remove the device if it is
contacting your vehicle, and do not spin
the vehicle’s wheels.
If you do nd traction devices that will t,
install them on the rear tires.

Notice:If your vehicle has a tire size other
than P255/50R20 use tire chains only where
legal and only when you must. Use chains that
are the proper size for your tires. Install
them on the tires of the rear axle. Do not use
chains on the tires of the front axle. Tighten
them as tightly as possible with the ends
securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow the
chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you
can hear the chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops. Driving
too fast or spinning the wheels with chains on
will damage your vehicle.If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blowout while you are
driving, especially if you maintain your vehicle’s
tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it is
much more likely to leak out slowly. But if you
should ever have a blowout, here are a few tips
about what to expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the at tire will create a drag
that pulls the vehicle toward that side. Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel rmly. Steer to maintain lane
position, and then gently brake to a stop well out
of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much
like a skid and may require the same correction
you would use in a skid. In any rear blowout
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get
the vehicle under control by steering the way
you want the vehicle to go. It may be very bumpy
and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road if possible.

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.

8. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push,
pull (A), and then try to turn the tire (B). If the
tire moves, use the wheel wrench to tighten
the cable.
Put back all tools as they were stored in the rear
storage compartment and put the compartment
cover back on.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully inated
when the 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 the vehicle,
you should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the 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 the full-size tire repaired or replaced
where you want. You must calibrate the tire
ination monitor system after installing or removing
the compact spare. SeeTire Pressure Monitor
System on page 410. The system may not
work correctly when the compact spare is installed
on the vehicle. Of course, it’s best to replace
the spare with a full-size tire as soon as you can.
The spare will last longer and be in good shape
in case you need it again.
