Buick 2006 manual

3.Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable to remove the compact spare tire, so it can be pulled up through the wheel opening.

If your vehicle is an AWD vehicle, after removing the compact spare tire, turn the wrench clockwise to raise the cable back up. On an AWD vehicle, you can not store a full-size tire under the vehicle.

It should be stowed inside the vehicle by the cable provided. See “Storing the Flat Tire on an All-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” under Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-83for more information.

If you have a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the hoist is used to store a full-size or a flat road tire under the vehicle. See “Storing the Flat Tire on an Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” under Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-83for more information.

4. Remove the compact spare tire from the cable.

If the compact spare tire will not lower, check under the vehicle to see if the tire is hanging loose and the cable end and spring under the wheel plate are missing. If so, the secondary latch system is engaged. See Secondary Latch System on page 5-81.

To continue changing the flat tire, see Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on page 5-75.
