If you must replace your vehicle’s tires with those
that do not have a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load range, speed
rating, and construction type (radial and
bias-belted tires) as your vehicle’s original tires.
Your vehicle’s original equipment tires are listed on
the Tire and Loading Information Label. This
label is attached to the vehicle’s center pillar
(B-pillar). SeeLoading Your Vehicle on page 378,
for more information about the Tire and Loading
Information Label and its location on your vehicle.
Different Size Tires and Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are a different size
than your original equipment wheels and tires,
this may affect the way your vehicle performs,
including its braking, ride and handling
characteristics, stability, and resistance to rollover.
Additionally, if your vehicle has electronic
systems such as, anti-lock brakes, traction control,
and electronic stability control, the performance
of these systems can be affected.
{CAUTION:
If you add different sized wheels, your
vehicle may not provide an acceptable
level of performance and safety if tires not
recommended for those wheels are
selected. You may increase the chance
that you will crash and suffer serious
injury. Only use GM specic wheel and
tire systems developed for your vehicle,
and have them properly installed by a GM
certied technician.
SeeBuying New Tires on page 461and
Accessories and Modications on page 400for
additional information.

{CAUTION:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The
vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over
or fall on you or other people. You and
they could be badly injured or even killed.
Find a level place to change your tire. To
help prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake rmly.
2. Put the shift lever in PARK (P).
3. Turn off the engine and do not restart
while the vehicle is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to remain in
the vehicle.
To be even more certain the vehicle will
not move, you should put blocks at the
front and rear of the tire farthest away
from the one being changed. That would
be the tire, on the other side, at the
opposite end of the vehicle.When your vehicle has a at tire, use the following
example as a guide to assist you in the placement
of wheel blocks.
The following information will tell you next how to
use the jack and change a tire.

2. Turn the folding wrench counterclockwise to
lower the compact spare tire (D) to the
ground. Continue to turn the wrench so the
compact spare tire can be pulled out from
under the vehicle.
3. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable to
remove the compact spare tire, so it can
be pulled up through the wheel opening.The hoist is used to store a full-size or a at
road tire under the vehicle. SeeStoring a
Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 483for
more information.
4. Remove the compact spare tire from the
cable.
If the compact spare tire will not lower, check
under the vehicle to see if the tire is hanging loose
and the cable end and spring under the wheel
plate are missing. If so, the secondary latch
system is engaged. SeeSecondary Latch System
on page 481.
To continue changing the at tire, seeRemoving
the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on
page 474.
Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
Your vehicle may have aluminum wheels. If so, you
will see exposed stainless steel wheel nuts. Use the
wheel wrench to loosen all of the wheel nuts. Do not
remove them yet. Or, your vehicle may have steel
wheel covers. To remove the wheel covers and
wheel nut caps, loosen the plastic nut caps with the
wheel wrench in a counterclockwise direction.
474

If needed, you can nish loosening with your
ngers. The plastic nut caps will not come off. Use
the at end of the wheel wrench and pry along the
edge of the cover until it comes off. The edge of the
wheel cover could be sharp, so do not try to remove
it with your bare hands. Do not drop the cover or lay
it face down, as it could become scratched or
damaged. Once you have removed the wheel
cover, use the following procedure to remove the
at tire and install the spare tire.1. Loosen the wheel
nuts using the
folding wrench,
but do not
remove them.
Turn the handle counterclockwise about
180 degrees, then ip the handle back to the
starting position. This avoids taking the
wrench off the lug nut for each turn.
Notice:If your vehicle has wheel locks and
you use an impact wrench to remove the wheel
nuts, you could damage the lock nut or
wheel lock key. Do not use an impact wrench
to remove the wheel nuts if your vehicle
has wheel locks.
475

{CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked
up is dangerous. If the vehicle slips off
the jack you could be badly injured or
killed. Never get under a vehicle when it is
supported only by a jack.
{CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can damage the
vehicle and even make the vehicle fall. To
help avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to t the jack lift head
into the proper location before raising the
vehicle.4. Attach the folding wrench (A) to the jack (B),
and turn the wrench clockwise to raise the
jack head approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm).
477

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the folding
wrench clockwise in the jack. Raise the
vehicle far enough off the ground so there is
enough room for the compact spare tire
to t under the wheel well.
6. Remove all the wheel nuts and take off the
at tire.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts
to which it is fastened, can make the
wheel nuts become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause an
accident. When you change a wheel,
remove any rust or dirt from the places
where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, you can 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.
478

9. Lower the vehicle by attaching the folding
wheel wrench to the jack and turning the
wrench counterclockwise. Lower the
jack completely.
{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel
to come loose and even come off. This
could lead to an accident. Be sure to use
the correct wheel nuts. If you have to
replace them, be sure to get new GM
original equipment wheel nuts. Stop
somewhere as soon as you can and have
the nuts tightened with a torque wrench to
the proper torque specication. See
Capacities and Specifications on page 503
for wheel nut torque specication.
Notice:Improperly tightened wheel nuts can
lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage.
To avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly
tighten the wheel nuts in the proper sequence
and to the proper torque specication. See
Capacities and Specifications on page 503for
the wheel nut torque specication.
480

{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 spare.To release the spare tire from the secondary latch,
do the following:
1. Place the jack under the vehicle, ahead of the
rear bumper. Position the center lift point of
the jack under the center of the compact
spare tire.
2. Turn the folding wrench clockwise to raise the
jack until it lifts the secondary latch device
under the wheel plate.
482

3. Keep raising the jack until the compact spare
tire stops moving upward and is held rmly in
place. This lets you know that the secondary
latch has released.
4. Lower the jack by turning the folding wrench
counterclockwise. Keep lowering the jack until
the compact spare tire is resting on the
folding wrench.
5. Grasp the compact spare tire with both hands
and pull it out from under the vehicle.
6. Reach under the vehicle and remove the
folding wrench and jack.Have the hoist assembly inspected as soon as
you can. You will not be able to store a spare or
at tire using the hoist assembly until it has
been repaired or replaced.
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.
