Tire Chains
{Warning
If the vehicle has 265/45R18 size
tires on the rear axle, do not use
tire chains. There is not enough
clearance. Tire chains used on a
vehicle 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 loss of
control and a crash. Use another
type of traction device only if its
manufacturer recommends it for
the vehicle's tire size combination
and road conditions. Follow that
manufacturer's instructions. To
avoid vehicle damage, drive slow
and readjust or remove the traction
device if it contacts the vehicle. Do
not spin the wheels. If traction
devices are used, install them on
the rear tires.
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped with a tire
size other than 265/45R18 on the
rear, use tire chains only where
legal and only when necessary. Use
low profile chains that add no more
than 10 mm thickness to the tire
tread and inner sidewall. Use chains
that are the proper size for the 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 the chains contact
the 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 the vehicle.
If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blow out
while driving, especially if the tires are
maintained properly. SeeTires0340.
If air goes out of a tire, it is much more likely to leak out slowly. But if
there is ever a blowout, here are a few
tips about what to expect and what
to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire creates
a drag that pulls the vehicle toward
that side. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal and grip the steering
wheel firmly. Steer to maintain lane
position, and then gently brake to a
stop, well off the road, if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction as used in
a skid. Stop pressing the accelerator
pedal and steer to straighten the
vehicle. It may be very bumpy and
noisy. Gently brake to a stop, well off
the road, if possible.
{Warning
Driving on a flat tire will cause
permanent damage to the tire.
Re-inflating a tire after it has been
driven on while severely
underinflated or flat may cause a
blowout and a serious crash. Never

17. Lower the jack all the way andremove the jack from under the
vehicle.
18. Tighten the wheel nuts firmly with the wheel wrench.
Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools
{Warning
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.
To store the flat tire and tools: 1. Open the trunk.
2. Replace the jack and tools as they were, originally, stored in
their container near the
spare tire.
3. Replace the spare tire cover.
4. Place the tire, lying flat, in the rear storage compartment. If there is a loop on the end of
the strap used to secure the flat
tire, go to Step 5. If there is not a
loop, go to Step 8.
5. Route the loop end of the
strap (3) through one of the
cargo tie-downs (1) in the rear of
the vehicle.
6. Route the hook (2) through the loop (3).
7. Pull the strap to tighten it around the cargo tie-down (1).
8. Route the hook end of the strap
through the wheel.
9. Attach the hook to the cargo tie-down in the rear of the
vehicle.
10. Tighten the strap.
The compact spare is for temporary
use only. Replace the compact spare
tire with a full-size tire as soon as
you can.

Footnotes—Maintenance Schedule
Additional Required Services -
Normal
(1) Vehicles with different size front
and rear tires do not have tire
rotation. See Tire Rotation0353.
(2) Or every two years, whichever
comes first. More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement
may be needed if driving in areas with
heavy traffic, poor air quality, high
dust levels, or environmental
allergens. Passenger compartment air
filter replacement may also be needed
if there is reduced airf low, window
fogging, or odors. Your GM dealer can
help determine when to replace the
filter.
(3) Visually check all fuel and vapor
lines and hoses for proper attachment,
connection, routing, and condition.
(4) Or every four years, whichever
comes first. If driving in dusty
conditions, inspect the filter at each
oil change or more often as needed. (5)
Or every five years, whichever
comes first.
See Cooling System (Gasoline Only)
0 312 orCooling System (PLUG-IN
Only) 0316.
(6) Do not directly power wash the
transfer case and/or front/rear axle
output seals. High pressure water can
overcome the seals and contaminate
the transfer case fluid. Contaminated
fluid will decrease the life of the
transfer case and/or axles and should
be replaced.
(7) Or every 10 years, whichever
comes first. Inspect for fraying,
excessive cracking, or damage; replace,
if needed.
(8) Replace brake fluid every five
years for DOT 3 fluid or every three
years for DOT 4 fluid. See Brake Fluid
0 323.
