GMC 2008 Acadia - Manual (Page 402)

Put back all tools as they were stored in the jack
storage compartment and put the compartment cover
back on.
1. Attach the tool bag to the jack.
2. Make sure that the bottom of the jack is facing
toward you.
3. Turn the jack (C) on its side and place it down on
the holding bracket.
4. Reinstall the wing bolt (B) by turning it clockwise.
5. To replace the cover, line up the tabs on the bottom
of the cover with the slots in the cover opening.
Push the cover in place, insuring that the upper front
and rear tabs are in the opening and push the
cover closed. Make sure that the center latch is fully
engaged. This secures the cover in place.
Store the center cap or the plastic bolt-on wheel covers
until a full size tire is put back on the vehicle. When you
replace the compact spare with a full-size tire, reinstall
the bolt-on wheel covers or the center cap. Hand-tighten
them over the wheel nuts, using the lug wrench.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when
the 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 the vehicle, stop
as soon as possible and make sure the 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 the full-size tire repaired or
replaced at your convenience. Of course, it is best
to replace the spare with a full-size tire as soon as
possible. The spare tire will last longer and be in good
shape in case it is needed again.
Notice: When the compact spare is installed, do
not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash
with guide rails. The compact spare can get
caught on the rails. That can damage the tire and
wheel, and maybe other parts of your vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare on other vehicles.
And do not mix the compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They will not fit. Keep the
spare tire and its wheel together.
