spare tire location GMC YUKON XL 2005 Owners Manual

When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
light is lit, one or more
of your tires is signicantly
under-inated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving
on a signicantly under-inated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-ination also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Each tire,
including the spare, should be checked monthly when
cold and set to the recommended ination pressure as
specied in the vehicle placard and owner’s manual.
The Tire and Loading Information label (tire information
placard) shows the size of your vehicle’s original tires and
the correct ination pressure for your vehicle’s tires when
they are cold. SeeInation - Tire Pressure on page 5-62.
For the location of the tire and loading information label,
seeLoading Your Vehicle on page 4-44.Your vehicle’s TPM system can alert you about a low
tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 5-66andTires on page 5-56.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.
TPM Sensor Identication Codes
Each TPM sensor has a unique identication code. Any
time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replace one or
more of the TPM sensors, the identication codes
will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.
Each tire/wheel position is matched to a sensor, by
increasing or decreasing the tire’s air pressure.
The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions in
the following order: left front (LF); right front (RF);
right rear (RR) and left rear (LR).
You will have one minute to match the rst tire/wheel
position, and ve minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than one minute,
to match the rst tire and wheel, or more than
ve minutes to match all four tire and wheel positions
the matching process stops and you will need to
start over.

{CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
{CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall. To help avoid personal
injury and vehicle damage, be sure to t the
jack lift head into the proper location before
raising the vehicle.Front Tire Flat:If the at tire is on a front tire of the
vehicle, you’ll need to use the jack handle (C) and only
one jack handle extension (D). Attach the wheel
wrench to the jack handle extension. Attach the jack
handle to the jack. Position the jack on the frame behind
the at tire where the frame sections overlap.
Turn the wheel wrench clockwise to raise the vehicle.
Raise the vehicle far enough off the ground so there is
enough room for the spare tire to clear the ground.Front Position
