AKENG44_Escalade Page 377 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 5 When you reinstall the full-size wheel and tire, you must also reinstall the center cap, if equipped. Place the cap on the wheel and tap it into place until it sits flush with the wheel. The cap can only go on one way. Be sure to line up the tab on the center cap with the indentation on the wheel. Restow tire and jacking equipment in reverse order as removal. Be sure the tire valve is pointed down and to the rear. See "Storing Tire and Jacking Equipment" later in this section for more information. CAUTION Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the passenger's compartment of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all these in the proper place. Storing Tire and Jacking Equipment Tire Storage NOTICE Storing an aluminum wheel with a flat tire under the vehicle for an extended period of time with the valve pointing up could damage the wheel. Always stow the wheel with the valve stem pointing down and have the tire repaired as soon as possible. – – – – – 377 . . .
