flat tire GMC ENVOY 2007 User Guide

{CAUTION:
The underbody-mounted spare tire needs
to be stored with the valve stem pointing
up. If the spare tire is stored with the
valve stem pointing downward, its
secondary latch will not work properly
and the spare tire could loosen and
suddenly fall from your vehicle. If this
happened when your vehicle was being
driven, the tire might contact a person or
another vehicle, causing injury and, of
course, damage to itself as well. Be sure
the underbody-mounted spare tire is
stored with its valve stem pointing up.
Notice:An aluminum wheel with a at tire
should always be stored under the vehicle with
the hoist. However, storing it that way for an
extended period could damage the wheel.
To avoid this, always stow the wheel properly
with the valve stem pointing up and have
the wheel repaired as soon as possible.Follow this diagram to store the
underbody-mounted at or spare tire.

Spare Tire
Your vehicle, when new, had a fully-inated spare
tire. A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its
ination pressure regularly. SeeInation - Tire
Pressure on page 447andLoading Your Vehicle
on page 349for information regarding proper tire
ination and loading your vehicle. For instruction on
how to remove, install or store a spare tire, see
Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire
on page 469andStoring a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools on page 478.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the spare is correctly inated. Have the
damaged or at road tire repaired or replaced as
soon as you can and installed back onto your
vehicle. This way, a spare tire will be available
in case you need it again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of different sizes,
because they will not t. Keep your spare tire
and its wheel together.
