294 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Rear Lifting Point
Rear Jacking Location
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install the spare
tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum
stability.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Mount the spare tire on the axle.
8. Install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped
end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts clockwise.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
to the counterclockwise, and remove the
jack.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
the wrench while tightening for increased
leverage. Alternate nuts until each nut has
been tightened twice. Refer to “Wheel And
Tire Torque Specifications” in “Technical
Specifications” for correct lug nut torque.
11. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut
torque with a torque wrench to ensure that
all lug nuts are properly seated against the
wheel.
12. Remove the jack assembly and wheel
blocks.
13. Secure the jack and tools in their proper
locations.
14. Secure the damaged wheel/tire on the
spare tire carrier. Torque down lug nuts and
locking lug nut.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can
make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off
the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious
injury.
