Storing The Flat Tire And Tools - Cadillac 2004 Seville Owner's Manual

Screw on the wheel nut covers with your fingers,
then tighten one-quarter turn with the wheel wrench.
CAUTION:
{
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come loose
and even come off. This could lead to an
accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel
nuts. If you have to replace them, be sure to
get new GM original equipment wheel nuts.
Stop somewhere as soon as you can and have
the nuts tightened with a torque wrench to the
proper torque specification. See "Capacities
and Specifications" in the Index for wheel nut
torque specification.
Notice: 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" in the index for the wheel nut torque
specification.
Do not try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare
tire. It will not fit. Store the wheel cover and lug nut
caps in the trunk until you have the flat tire repaired or
replaced.
Notice: Wheel covers will not fit on your compact
spare. If you try to put a wheel cover on the compact
spare, you could damage the cover or the spare.

Storing the Flat Tire and Tools

CAUTION:
{
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.
After you have put the compact spare tire on your
vehicle, you will need to store the flat tire in your trunk.
Store the flat tire as far forward in the trunk as
possible. Store the jack and wheel wrench in their
compartment in the trunk. For storage, the jack must be
raised until the screw end is flush with the edge of
the jack.
