Full-Size Spare Tyre; Jump Starting - Cadillac 2014 Escalade ESV Owner's Manual

To continue changing the flat tyre,
see "Removing the Flat Tyre and
Installing the Spare Tyre" under
Tyre Changing on page 10-56.

Full-Size Spare Tyre

The full-size spare tyre that came
with the vehicle was fully inflated
when new, however, it can lose air
over time. Check the inflation
pressure regularly. See Tyre
Pressure on page 10-43 and
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-14
for information regarding proper tyre
inflation and loading the vehicle. For
instructions on how to remove,
install, or store a spare tyre, see
Tyre Changing on page 10-56.
After installing the spare tyre on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible
and check that the spare is correctly
inflated. The spare tyre is made to
perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tyre
repaired or replaced and installed
back onto the vehicle as soon as
possible so the spare tyre will be
available in case it is needed again.
Do not mix tyres and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep the spare tyre and its
wheel together.

If the vehicle's battery has run
down, you may want to use another
vehicle and some jump leads to
start your vehicle. Be sure to use
the following steps to do it safely.
Warning

be dangerous because:

explode or ignite.

things can hurt you.
