overextended position or not lower fully.
Do not attempt to force the jack higher
once the height limit is reached.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the wheel wrench clockwise in the jack. Raise the
vehicle far enough off the ground so
there is enough room for the spare tire
to fit under the wheel well.
6. Remove all of the wheel nuts.
7. Remove the flat tire.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off
and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.8. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting surfaces, and spare
wheel.
9. Place the spare tire on the wheel-mounting surface.
{Warning
Never use oil or grease on bolts or nuts
because the nuts might come loose. The
vehicle's wheel could fall off, causing a
crash.
10. Reinstall the wheel nuts. Tighten each nut by hand. Then use the wheel wrench
to tighten the nuts until the wheel is
held against the hub.
11. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the vehicle. Lower the jack
completely.

wrench clockwise.
{Warning
Wheel nuts that are improperly or
incorrectly tightened can cause the
wheels to become loose or come off. The
wheel nuts should be tightened with a
torque wrench to the proper torque
specification after replacing. Follow the
torque specification supplied by the
aftermarket manufacturer when using

Warning (Continued)
accessory locking wheel nuts. See
Capacities and Specifications0387 for
original equipment wheel nut torque
specifications.
Caution
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
specification. See Capacities and
Specifications 0387 for the wheel nut
torque specification.
When reinstalling the regular wheel and tire,
also reinstall either the center cap or the
bolt-on hub cap, depending on which one
the vehicle has.
.For center caps, line up the tab on the
center cap with the slot in the wheel. The
cap only goes in one way. Place the cap
on the wheel and press until it snaps into
place.
.For bolt-on hub caps, line up the plastic
nut caps with the wheel nuts and tighten
clockwise by hand to get them started.
Then tighten with the wheel wrench
until snug.
Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools
{Warning
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.
{Warning
Failure to follow these tire storage
instructions carefully could result in
personal injury or property damage if the
hoist cable fails or if the tire comes loose.

Caution
Always store the spare tire or flat tire
with the valve stem pointed up. Stowing
a tire with the valve stem pointed down
could result in damage to the wheel.
Caution
The tire hoist is designed to be raised
and lowered with tension on the cable.
If the hoist must be raised or lowered
without a tire attached, do so only by
hand, and at a slow pace, to avoid
damaging the mechanism. Do not use
power tools.
{Warning
An improperly stored spare tire could
come loose and cause a crash. To avoid
personal injury or property damage,
always store the spare tire when the
vehicle is parked on a level surface.If the vehicle has 275/60R20 or 275/50R22
size tires, the flat tire must be stored inside
of the vehicle using the flat tire secure strap
inside the glove box. See
“Storing a Flat Tire
Inside of the Vehicle” later in this section.
If the vehicle has 265/65R18 or 275/55R20
size tires, store the flat tire under the rear
of the vehicle in the spare tire carrier. Refer
to the following graphics and instructions:
1. Hoist Assembly
2. Hoist Shaft

4. Insert the open end of the extension (7)through the hole in the rear bumper (8)
(hoist shaft access hole).
5. Raise the tire part way upward. Make sure the retainer is seated in the wheel
opening. 6. Raise the tire fully against the underside
of the vehicle by turning the wheel
wrench clockwise until you hear two
clicks or feel it skip twice. The cable
cannot be overtightened.
7. Make sure the tire is stored securely.Push, pull, and then try to turn the tire.
If the tire moves, use the wheel wrench
to tighten the cable.

Storing the Tools
To store the tools:1. Return the tools (wheel wrench, jack handle, and jack handle extensions) to
the tool bag. Use the velcro straps to
secure the tool bag under the load floor
in the cargo area.
2. Position the jack and wheel blocks in the driver side trim panel over the
wheelhouse.
3. Turn the jack knob clockwise until the jack is secured tight in the mounting
bracket. Be sure to position the holes in
the base of the jack onto the pin in the
mounting bracket.
4. Close the trim panel door.
Storing a Flat Tire Inside of the Vehicle
If the vehicle has 275/60R20 or 275/50R22
size tires, the flat tire must be stored inside
of the vehicle in the cargo area using the
flat tire secure strap inside the glove box. 1. Store the tools. See “Storing the Tools”
earlier in this section.
2. If the vehicle has a short wheel base, the third row seat must be folded down to
provide sufficient space to store the flat
tire. If the third row seat cannot be folded down, the flat tire cannot be
stored and must be left in a safe
location, to be picked up at a later time.
3. Once there is sufficient space in the rear of the vehicle, lift the flat tire and place
it on top of the load floor, with the
valve stem pointed up.4. Remove the flat tire secure strap from
the glove box and place the loop end of
the strap through the cargo tie-down.
Place the hook end of the strap through
the loop and pull it until the strap is
fastened securely to the tie-down.
5. Route the hook end of the strap throughthe wheel, as shown.
6. Attach the hook to the other cargo tie-down in the rear of the vehicle.
7. Tighten the strap.
Full-Size Spare Tire
If this vehicle came with a full-size spare
tire, it was fully inflated when new,
however, it can lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. See Tire Pressure
0 333 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0201 for information
regarding proper tire inflation and loading
the vehicle. For instructions on how to
remove, install, or store a spare tire, see Tire
Changing 0346.

GMC Yukon/Yukon XL/Denali Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./
Canada/Mexico-15555988) - 2022 - CRC - 12/3/21
Vehicle Care 357
If equipped with a temporary use full-size
spare tire, it is indicated on the tire sidewall.
SeeTire Sidewall Labeling 0330. This spare
tire should not be driven on over 112 km/h
(70 mph), or 88 km/h (55 mph) when
pulling a trailer, at the proper inflation
pressure. Repair and replace the road tire as
soon as it is convenient, and stow the spare
tire for future use.
Caution
If the vehicle has four-wheel drive and a
different size spare tire is installed, do
not drive in four-wheel drive until the flat
tire is repaired and/or replaced. The
vehicle could be damaged and the repairs
would not be covered by the warranty.
Never use four-wheel drive when a
different size spare tire is installed on the
vehicle.
The vehicle may have a different size spare
tire than the road tires originally installed
on the vehicle. This spare tire was developed
for use on this vehicle, so it is all right to
drive on it. If the vehicle has four-wheel
drive and a different size spare tire is
installed, drive only in two-wheel drive. After installing the spare tire on the vehicle,
stop as soon as possible and check that the
spare is correctly inflated. The spare tire is
made to perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 MPH) at the recommended
inflation pressure, so you can finish
your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire repaired
or replaced and installed back onto the
vehicle as soon as possible so the spare tire
will be available in case it is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of difference
sizes, because they will not fit. Keep the
spare tire and its wheel together.
If the vehicle has a spare tire that does not
match the original road tires and wheels in
size and type, do not include the spare in
the tire rotation.
