ECU CHEVROLET UPLANDER 2009 1.G Repair Manual

Store the wheel cover securely in the rear of the vehicle
until you have the at tire repaired or replaced. Once
the wheel cover has been removed, use the following
procedure to remove the at tire and install the spare tire.
1. Do a safety check is done before proceeding.
SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 5-74for more
information.2. 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 this vehicle has wheel locks and an
impact wrench is used to remove the wheel nuts,
the lock nut or wheel lock key could be damaged.
Do not use an impact wrench to remove the
wheel nuts if this vehicle has wheel locks.

without positioning it correctly, the vehicle could be
damaged. When raising the vehicle on a jack, avoid
contact with the rear axle control arms.

To store the spare tire:
1. Lay the tire near the rear of the vehicle with the
valve stem down.
2. Remove the small center cap by tapping the back
of the cap with the extension of the shaft, if the
vehicle has aluminum wheels.
3. Slide the cable retainer through the center of the
wheel and start to raise the tire.
Make sure the retainer is fully seated across the
underside of the wheel.
4. When the tire is almost in the stored position, turn
the tire so the valve is towards the rear of the
vehicle.
This will help when you check and maintain tire
pressure in the spare.
5. Raise the tire fully against the underside of the
vehicle. Continue turning the folding wrench until
you feel more than two clicks. This indicates that
the compact spare tire is secure and the cable
is tight. The spare tire hoist cannot be
overtightened.6. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull (A),
and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the tire moves,
use the folding wrench to tighten the cable.

Storing the Tools
A. Strap
B. Bag and Tools
C. Jack
Put back all tools as they were stored in the jack
storage compartment and put the compartment cover
back on.To replace the cover, line up the tabs on the right of
the cover with the slots in the cover opening. Push the
cover in place and push down the tab so that it rests
in the groove. This secures the cover in place.
Store the center cap or the plastic bolt-on wheel covers
until a full size tire is put back on the vehicle. When
you replace the compact spare with a full-size tire,
reinstall the bolt-on wheel covers or the center cap.
Hand-tighten them over the wheel nuts, using the
folding wrench.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully inated
when the vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time.
Check the ination pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi (420 kPa).
After installing the compact spare on the vehicle, stop as
soon as possible and make sure the spare tire is correctly
inated. The compact spare is made to perform well at
speeds up to 65 mph (105 km/h) for distances up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can nish your trip and
have the full-size tire repaired or replaced at your
convenience. Of course, it is best to replace the spare
with a full-size tire as soon as possible. The spare tire
will last longer and be in good shape in case it is needed
again.
