Removing The Flat Tire And Installing The Spare Tire - Cadillac 2010 DTS Owner's Manual

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before proceeding. See Changing
a Flat Tire on page 6-80 for more information.
2. For models having aluminum wheels with a center
wheel cover, use the flat end of the wheel wrench to
gently pry the wheel covers off. Store the wheel
cover and lug nut caps in the trunk until you have the
flat tire repaired or replaced. Be careful not to scratch
the aluminum wheel edge and do not try to remove it
with your hands. Then loosen the wheel nuts with the
wheel wrench. Do not remove them yet.
3. For models with exposed lug nuts, loosen them using
the wheel wrench. Do not remove them yet.
