Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Changing a Flat lire
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and
wheel damage by driving slowly to a level
place.
Turn on your hazard warning
flashers. The following
steps will tell you how to
use
the jack and change a tire.
The equipment you’ll need is in the rear
area.
First
you must remove the close-out
panel. See “Close-Out Panel” in the
Index.
Find the plastic screw heads in the trim
panel over
the spare tire. Use a coin or a
key to turn the screw heads until the slots
point front and back. Lift the trim panel
and move
it out of the way.

Stay away from the moldings or fender
flanges to avoid damaging them.
NOTICE:
Raising your vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned
will damage
the vehicle or may allow the vehicle
to fall
off the jack. Be sure to fit
the jack lift head into the proper
location before raising your vehicle.
Raise the vehicle by rotating the wheel
wrench clockwise. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground
so there is enough
room
for the spare tire to fit.

Remove all the wheel nuts and take off
the flat tire.
A 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 emer-
gency,
you can use a cloth or a papa-
towel to
do this; but be sure to use a
scraper or wire brush later, if you
need to, to get all the rust or dirt off.

Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel
bolts, mounting surfaces and spare whee
Place the spare

surface.

Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare was fully
inflated when your vehicle was new, it
can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly.
It should be
60 psi (420 Wa). After installing the
compact spare on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure your spare tire is correctly inflated.
The compact spare is made to perform
well at posted speed limits for distances
up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km). Of course,
it’s best to replace your spare with a
full-size tire as soon as you can. Your
spare will last longer and be in good
shape in case you need
it again.
NOTICE:
If the compact spare is used as a rear
tire, do not drive faster than
50 mph
(80 km/h). Damage to the rear axle
may occur if the compact spare is
driven faster than
50 mph (80 km/h).
This speed limitation does not apply
when the compact spare is used as a
front tire.
NOTICE:
Don’t take your compact spare
through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact spare can
get caught on the rails. That can dam-
age the tire and wheel, and maybe
other parts of your vehicle.
Don’t use your compact spare on some
other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or
wheel with other wheels or tires. They
won’t fit. Keep your spare and its wheel
together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact
spare. Using them will damage your
vehicle and destroy the chains too.
Don’t use tire chains on your com-
pact spare.

I Tires
re don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made by a
ading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted
by the tire manufacturers and
.eir warranties are delivered with every new Chevrolet.
If your spare tire is a
fferent brand than your road tires,
you will have a tire warranty folder from each
’ these manufacturers.

When to Check: Check your tires once a
month or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi
(420 kPa).
How to Check: Use a good quality
pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure, especially if you have
radial tires
- which may look properly
inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture. Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them
inspected and rotated at the mileages
recommended
in the Maintenance
Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance
Services” in the Index.
[f you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires.
4-
f you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
nust roll in
a certain direction for the best
werall performance. The direction is
hown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
3ecause these tires are directional, they
hould be rotated as shown
in the
:xample above. These tires should only
,e moved from front to rear and rear to
ront on the same side of the vehicle.
ifter the tires have been rotated, adjust
he front and rear inflation pressure as
.hown on
the Tire-Loading Information
abel. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
u-operly tightened. See “Wheel Nut
rorque” in the Index.
