404 Vehicle Care
Compact Spare Tire
{Warning
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of
braking and handling. This
could lead to a crash and
you or others could be
injured. Use only one
compact spare tire at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact
spare tire, it was fully inflated
when new; however, it can
lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).
Stop as soon as possible and
check that the spare tire is
correctly inflated after being
installed on the vehicle. The
compact spare tire is designed
for temporary use only. The
vehicle will perform differently
with the spare tire installed
and it is recommended that
the vehicle speed be limited to
80 km/h (50 mph). To conserve the tread of the spare tire,
have the standard tire
repaired or replaced as soon
as convenient and return the
spare tire to the storage area.
When using a compact spare
tire, the AWD (if equipped),
ABS, and Traction Control
systems may engage until the
spare tire is recognized by the
vehicle, especially on slippery
roads. Adjust driving to reduce
possible wheel slip.
Caution
When the compact spare is
installed, do not take the
vehicle through an
automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact
spare can get caught on the
rails which can damage the
tire, wheel, and other parts
of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare
on other vehicles. Do not mix the compact spare
tire or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its
wheel together.
Caution
Tire chains will not fit the
compact spare. Using them
can damage the vehicle and
the chains. Do not use tire
chains on the compact
spare.

the following steps to do it
safely.

shifter. In the event of a loss
of 12-volt battery power, the
electric parking brake
cannot be released, and the
vehicle cannot be shifted to
N (Neutral). Tire skates or
dollies must be used under
the non-rolling tires to
prevent damage while
loading/unloading the
vehicle. Dragging the vehicle
will cause damage not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with a tow eye. Improper use
of the tow eye may cause
damage to the vehicle and is
not covered by the vehicle
warranty. If equipped, use
the tow eye to load the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck from a flat road(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
surface, or to move the
vehicle a very short distance
at a walking pace. The tow
eye is not designed for
off-road recovery. The
vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the electric
parking brake released when
using the tow eye.
Contact a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle
must be transported. GM
recommends a flatbed tow
truck to transport a disabled
vehicle. Use ramps to help
reduce approach angles,
if necessary.
If equipped, a tow eye may be
located near the spare tire or
emergency jack. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle
from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may
have right or left-hand
threads. Use caution when
installing or removing the
tow eye. The vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) and the electric
parking brake must be
released when loading the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck.
.If the vehicle is equipped
with car wash mode and has
12-volt battery power, refer
to
“Car Wash Mode” under
Automatic Transmission
0 257 to place the vehicle in
N (Neutral).
.If the 12-volt battery is dead
and/or the engine will not
start, the vehicle will not
move. Try to jump start the
vehicle. Refer to Jump
Starting - North America
0 404 and if the jump start is
successful, retry the “Car
Wash Mode” procedure.
.If jump starting is
unsuccessful, the vehicle will
not move. Tire skates or
dollies must be used under
the non-rolling tires to
prevent vehicle damage.
