Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
The wheel cover or hubcap needs to be removed
in order to reach the wheel bolts.
For steel wheels with full plastic covers and
aluminum wheels with large circular center caps,
do the following:
1. It is recommended that a safety check is done
before preceding. SeeChanging a Flat Tire
on page 386for more information.
2. Loosen all plastic
caps by turning the
wheel wrench
counterclockwise.
Do not try to remove
plastic caps from
the cover or
center cap.
3. Pull the cover or center cap away from the
wheel and place it in the trunk.When reinstalling full plastic covers or center
caps, tighten all the plastic caps hand snug, then
tighten with the wheel wrench an additional
one-quarter of a turn.
1. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel
nuts. Do not remove them yet.
2. Attach the wheel
wrench to the jack
bolt head and
rotate the wheel
wrench clockwise.
That will raise the lift
head a little.

{CAUTION:
Lifting a vehicle and getting under it to do
maintenance or repairs is dangerous
without the appropriate safety equipment
and training. The jack provided with your
vehicle is designed only for changing a
at tire. If it is used for anything else, you
or others could be badly injured or killed
if the vehicle slips off the jack. Use the
jack provided with your vehicle only for
changing a at tire.
Notice:Make sure that the jack lift head is
in the correct position or you may damage your
vehicle. The repairs would not be covered by
your warranty.5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle
clockwise. Raise the vehicle far enough off
the ground so there is enough room for
the road tire to be removed.

dirt from the wheel
bolts, mounting
surfaces and
spare wheel.
9. Place the compact spare tire on the
wheel-mounting surface.
{CAUTION:
Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts.
Because the nuts might come loose. The
vehicle’s wheel could fall off, causing a
serious accident.
10. Reinstall the wheel nuts. Tighten each nut by
hand until the wheel is held against the hub.11. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack handle
counterclockwise.

4. Screw the threaded wheel stow rod onto the
spare tire bracket. The nal position of the
wheel stow rod must be rotated to the farthest
forward position so that the top of the rod
faces forward.
5. Reverse Steps 1 through 4 underRemoving
the Spare Tire and Tools on page 387to
replace the oor cargo organizer and lock
in place.
6. Place the at, or damaged tire, face down, on
the load oor with the threaded wheel stow
rod sticking up through the center hole of the
load oor and center hole of the wheel.
Vehicles equipped with the 3.5L V6 (L66)
engine and aluminum wheels, must remove the
center cap from the wheel prior to placing it on
the load oor. To remove the center cap, tap
the cap from the backside of the wheel, then
place the wheel on the load oor.
7. Place the wheel retainer bolt onto the wheel
stow rod and tighten.
The compact spare is for temporary use only.
Replace the compact spare tire with a full-size tire
as soon as you can.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.
Notice:When the compact spare is installed,
do not take your vehicle through an automatic
car wash with guide rails. The compact
spare can get caught on the rails. That can
damage the tire and wheel, and maybe
other parts of your vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare on other vehicles.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your retailer
rst. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage would not
be covered by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 88.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem, have it xed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the
power windows and other power accessories.
When the current load is too heavy, the circuit
breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit
until the problem is xed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by fuses. This greatly reduces
the chance of circuit overload and re caused
by electrical problems.
There are two fuse blocks — the underhood fuse
block, and the instrument panel fuse block.
To identify and check fuses and relays, refer to
the Fuse Usage Chart on the inside surface of the
fuse panel door.

(c)Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced
if they are cracked, swollen, or deteriorated.
Inspect all pipes, ttings, and clamps; replace with
genuine Saturn parts as needed. To help ensure
proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling
system and pressure cap and cleaning the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is
recommended at least once a year.
(d)Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or
cracking. Replace wiper blades that appear
worn or damaged or that streak or miss areas
of the windshield.
(e)Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all
your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchorages are working properly. Look for any
other loose or damaged safety belt system parts.
If you see anything that might keep a safety belt
system from doing its job, have it repaired. Have
any torn or frayed safety belts replaced. Also look
for any opened or broken airbag coverings, and
have them repaired or replaced. The airbag system
does not need regular maintenance.
(f)Lubricate all key lock cylinders, door hinges
and latches, hood hinges and latches, glove box
hinges, sunroof (if equipped), and any folding
seat hardware. More frequent lubrication may berequired when exposed to a corrosive
environment. Applying silicone grease on
weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them
last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.
(g)Check system for interference or binding
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace
parts as needed. Replace any components that
have high effort or excessive wear.
(h)Severe service is when the vehicle is mainly
driven under one or more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic where the outside
temperature regularly reaches 90°F (32°C)
or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
When doing frequent trailer towing.
Uses such as found in taxi, police, or delivery
service.
(i)Drain, ush, and rell cooling system. This
service can be complex; you should have
your retailer perform this service. See Engine
Coolant on page 331 for what to use. Inspect
hoses. Clean radiator, condenser, pressure cap,
and ller neck. Pressure test the cooling
system and pressure cap.
