When you end this highspeed driving, return to the cold inflation pressure shown on the tire information label. See "Vehicle Loading" in Section 3 for more information. Inspection and Rotation Check your tires and wheels regularly for unusual wear or damage. Make sure the spare tire is secured properly.

AKENG44_Escalade Page 329 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 4 CAUTION CAUTION NOTICE Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts become loose after a time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from the places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you could use a cloth or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later, if necessary, to get all the rust or dirt off. Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become loose and even come off. This could lead to an accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts. Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper torque specification. See "Specifications and Capacities" later in this Section for the proper wheel nut torque. – – – – 329 . . .
