Appearance Care; Spare Tire - GMC Jimmy 2004 Owner's Manual

Spare Tire

Your vehicle, when new, had a fully inflated spare tire.
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 5-68
and Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-54 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 5-77.
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.
If your vehicle has the Xtreme™ Sport Appearance
Package (RPO V4A), the spare tire is smaller than your
vehicle's original road tires, so don't include the spare
in the tire rotation.

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.
