2009 CHEVROLET UPLANDER flat tire

{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which
it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come off and cause an
accident. When changing a wheel, remove any rust
or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, use a cloth or a paper
towel to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire
brush later, if needed, to get all the rust or dirt off.
SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 5-74.
{CAUTION:
Never use oil or grease on bolts or nuts because
the nuts might come loose. The vehicle’s wheel
could fall off, causing a crash.
8. Remove any rust or dirt
from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.

Secondary Latch System
Your vehicle may have an underbody-mounted tire
hoist assembly equipped with a secondary latch system.
It is designed to stop a tire from suddenly falling off your
vehicle if the cable holding the spare tire is damaged.
For the secondary latch to work, the tire must be stowed
with the valve stem pointing down.
Your vehicle uses the underbody tire hoist assembly
to store either the compact spare or a at road tire. See
Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-86
for instructions on storing the spare or at tire correctly.{CAUTION:
Before beginning this procedure read all the
instructions. Failure to read and follow the
instructions could damage the hoist assembly
and you and others could get hurt. Read and
follow the instructions listed next.
{CAUTION:
Someone standing too close during the procedure
could be injured by the jack. If the spare tire does
not slide off the jack completely, make sure no
one is behind you or on either side of you as you
pull the jack out from the under spare.

Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools
{CAUTION:
Storing a jack, a tire, or other equipment in the
passenger compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose
equipment could strike someone. Store all these in
the proper place.
Storing the Flat or Spare Tire
{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, the secondary latch will not work properly
and the spare tire could loosen and suddenly fall
from the vehicle. If this happened when the vehicle
was being driven, the tire might contact a person or
another vehicle, causing injury and damage to itself.
Be sure the underbody-mounted spare tire is stored
with the valve stem pointing down.
