Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how
it’s been used or
how far
it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident.
If you have to replace a
wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Using the Wheel Lock Key
The wheel lock key sits in a small depression in
the trunk rail directly under the left-hand rear
compartment cover.
Your vehicle wheel lock key has a unique registration
number. The registration number is printed on a card
included
in your lock nut package. Also on this card is
lost key replacement information. This number is not
recorded by
GM or your dealer, so be sure not to lose
this card. You will need the information if you ever lose
your wheel lock key.
If you or someone else is going to remove the wheels on
your vehicle, make sure that the special wheel nut socket
and wheel lock key are being used.
NOTICE:
Your wheels could be damaged if the wheel
nut socket is not used
to remove your
vehicle’s wheels.
The wheel nut socket can be used with an air wrench or
a torque wrench. The wheel lock key can
be used with a
torque wrench, but not with an air or impact wrench.
NOTICE:
Your wheel lock key or lock nuts could be
damaged if an
air or impact wrench is used with
this key.
