Tightening Wheel Lug Nuts
Warning
Never use oil or grease on studs
or the threads of the wheel nuts.
The wheel nuts might come loose
and the wheel could fall off,
causing a crash.
Warning
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause
the wheel to become loose and
even come off. This could lead to
a crash. Be sure to use the
correct wheel nuts. If you have to
replace them, be sure to get new
GM original equipment
wheel nuts.
Caution
Improperly tightened wheel nuts
can lead to brake pulsation and
disc damage. To avoid expensive
brake repairs, evenly tighten the
wheel nuts in the proper
sequence and to the proper
torque specification.
Tighten the wheel lug nuts firmly in
a crisscross sequence. See

Vehicle Care

Tyre Chains

Use tyre chains only where legal
and only when necessary.
Only use low profile chains that are
the correct size for P285/30ZR20 or
P335/25ZR20 tires.
Install them on the tires of the rear
axle only.
Caution
Do not install traction devices on
the front tyres.
Tighten the chains as tightly as
possible with the ends securely
fastened.
Drive slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions. If the
chains contact the vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops.
