Appearance Care - GMC 2004 Canyon Owner's Manual

Don't use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And don't mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your spare tire
and its wheel together.
Notice: Tire chains won't fit your compact spare.
Using them can damage your vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Don't use tire chains on
your compact spare.
Full-Size Spare Tire
Your vehicle may be equipped with a full-size spare tire,
which, when new, was fully inflated. A spare tire, whether
compact-size or full-size, may lose air over time, so check
its inflation pressure regularly. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-64 and Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-52 for information regarding proper tire inflation
and loading your vehicle. For instruction on how to
remove, install or store a spare tire, see Changing a Flat
Tire on page 5-74.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you should
stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare is
correctly inflated. Have the damaged or flat road
tire repaired or replaced as soon as you can and
installed back onto your vehicle. This way, a spare tire
will be available in case you need it again.
Don't mix tires and wheels of different sizes, because
they won't fit. Keep your spare tire and its wheel together.

Appearance Care

Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some
are toxic. Others can burst into flames if you strike a
match or get them on a hot part of the vehicle. Some are
dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed
space. When you use anything from a container to clean
your vehicle, be sure to follow the manufacturer's
warnings and instructions. And always open your doors
or windows when you are cleaning the inside.
Never use these to clean your vehicle:
•
Gasoline
•
Benzene
•
Naphtha
•
Carbon Tetrachloride
•
Acetone
•
Paint Thinner
•
Turpentine
•
Lacquer Thinner
•
Nail Polish Remover
They can all be hazardous — some more than
others — and they can all damage your vehicle, too.
