Tire Changing - GMC Yukon 2023 Manual

120 Vehicle Care
If your vehicle is loaded at or near
maximum cargo capacity, it may be difficult
to fit the jack under the vehicle due to the
environment (shoulder slope, road debris,
etc.). Removal of some weight may improve
the ability to fit the jack under the vehicle
at the correct jacking location.
Warning
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The
vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over
or fall causing injury or death. Find a
level place to change the tire. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park).
3. For vehicles with four-wheel drive
with an N (Neutral) transfer case
position, be sure the transfer case is
in a drive gear not in N (Neutral).
4. Turn off the engine and do not
restart while the vehicle is raised.
5. Do not allow passengers to remain
in the vehicle.
Warning (Continued)
6. Place wheel blocks, if equipped, on
both sides of the tire at the opposite
corner of the tire being changed.
When the vehicle has a flat tire (2), use the
following example as a guide to assist in the
placement of the wheel blocks (1),
if equipped.
1. Wheel Block (If Equipped)

the tire/wheel that is removed from the
rear axle.
If equipped with the performance brake
package RPO J49, and the flat tire is on the
front axle, stop after performing all steps in
Removing the Spare Tire and Tools and do
the following. Otherwise, continue with the
