Buick 2007 Rendezvous - Manual (Page 450)

9. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push,
pull (A), and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the
tire moves, use the folding wrench to tighten
the cable.
10. Put back all tools as they were stored in
the jack storage compartment and put the
compartment cover back on.
To put the cover back on, slip the tabs on
the side of the cover into the cover opening.
Push the cover in place and push down
the tabs on the cover so that it rests in the
groove. This secures the cover in place.
When you replace the compact spare with a
full-size tire, reinstall the bolt-on wheel covers or the
center cap, whichever your vehicle has. Tighten
them hand tight over the wheel nuts, using the
folding wrench.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated
when your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a
time. Check the inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 60 psi (420 kPa).
After installing the compact spare on your vehicle,
you should stop as soon as possible and make sure
your spare tire is correctly inflated. The compact
spare is made to perform well at speeds up to
65 mph (105 km/h) for distances up to 3,000 miles
(5 000 km), so you can finish your trip and have
your full-size tire repaired or replaced where you
want. Of course, it’s best to replace your spare with
a full-size tire as soon as you can. Your spare will
last longer and be in good shape in case you need
it again.
