Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly
rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming
loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts should be replaced. If the wheel leaks air,
replace it (except some aluminum wheels,
which can sometimes be repaired). See your
dealer if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset and
be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel
bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them only with
new GM original equipment parts. This way,
you will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for your vehicle.{CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts on your vehicle
can be dangerous. It could affect the
braking and handling of your vehicle,
make your tires lose air and make you
lose control. You could have a collision
in which you or others could be injured.
Always use the correct wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts for replacement.
Notice:The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground
clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance
to the body and chassis.

GM-approved cleaning products can be obtained
from your dealer. SeeVehicle Care/Appearance
Materials on page 501. Do not use cleaning agents
that are petroleum based, or that contain acid or
abrasives. All cleaning agents should be ushed
promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or
they could stain. Dry the nish with a soft, clean
chamois or an all-cotton towel to avoid surface
scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to
enter the vehicle.
The overall height, width, and underbody
clearances of the HUMMER H2 are similar to
current General Motors’ full-size light duty trucks.
This means a HUMMER H2 should t in a
standard car wash. But, if your vehicle has added
accessories like roof-mounted lamps or a roof
basket, it might not t properly in a standard
car wash.Notice:Certain add-on accessories can
change the dimensions of your vehicle.
If you’ve added items to the outside of your
vehicle, it might not t properly in a standard
car wash. Your vehicle and the car wash could
be damaged. To help prevent damage, know
how accessories have changed the dimensions
of your vehicle and check with the car wash
manager before entering a car wash.
Notice:If you drive your vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not have enough
clearance for any roof-mounted accessories
(such as off-road lamps or a roof basket)
on your vehicle, you can damage your vehicle.
To avoid damaging your vehicle in a car
wash, remove any roof-mounted accessories if
you can, and do not use an automatic car
wash while roof-mounted accessories are on
your vehicle. SeePower Winch Platform
on page 361andOff-Road Lamps on page 190
for more information.
