How do you remove the spare tire on a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica?
Hi, The spare tire is underneath the rear of your Pacifica. However, to lower it, you will have to open the back hatch and open the floor compartment. In the middle of the compartment you will see a place where you have to fit the lug wrench onto. Then after it is fitted on, you will have to keep spinning the lug wrench to the left until the spare tire is lowered onto the ground. Then you will have to release the cable that lowered the spare tire down from the vehicle. Next, take the flat tire off and install the spare tire. Then take your flat tire to the nearest decent tire store or car garage and have them either fix the flat, or replace the tire if it is ruined. Then after you get the tire back, take the spare off and put the good tire back on again. Happy Traveling!
Where is the spare tire on a Chevrolet traverse?
Surprise! No spare tire! Some Chevrolet Traverse models do not come with a spare tire... yes this is true! You get a can of "fix a flat" goop instead. This won't do you much good if you hit a road hazard that severely damages the tire and could leave you and your family stranded in a remote area on a cold winter night or in a dangerous neighborhood, like a sitting duck, waiting for help. Cars that do have a spare use the "donut" type spare. The spare is under the back of the vehicle and is lowered via a cable mechanism from inside the car. There is a plastic heat shield wrapped around the spare so it doesn't get damaged from the very close proximity to the hot exhaust system. The full size flat tire will not fit in the spare tire compartment so must be carried inside the vehicle. A cable is provided to secure the flat tire inside the vehicle for safety reasons. Not GM's finest hour. They still don't get it!
How do i improve gas mileage on a 1996 Chevy blazer?
It is cheaper to carry "fix-a-flat", rather than a spare.... Could help? Check your tire pressure, make sure they are where they should be.... Get a K&N air filter, use fix a flat instead of a spare, and check your tire pressures for starts?
How do you reset low tire warning light in 2001 Prowler?
To reset it simply check the air in the tires (check the spare also as some vehicles will pop the low tire light when the spare is low) and fill to the proper pressure. If that does not fix it then one of the tire sensors is probably bad.

What did you do when you discovered you had a flat tire?

Can run flat tires be replaced with conventional tire?
Cars that use run-flat tires don't have a spare tire. But there's no other reason you can't switch to regular tires. Best thing to do is learn how to plug a nail hole and carry a can of fix-a-flat or a small compressed air cylinder that you can use to re-inflate the tire should you encounter a flat. Or if you have CAA or AAA you can call and have them fix it.
