6. Remove the wheel bolts and pull the wheel off the
hub. For vehicles equipped with aluminum wheels,
the center caps must be removed to remove the
wheel bolts. For vehicles equipped with steel wheels
the wheel covers must be removed to remove the
wheel bolts.
WARNING!
• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not fully tighten the wheel bolts until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury.
• To avoid possible personal injury, handle the
wheel covers with care to avoid contact with any
sharp edges.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if
the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
7. Install the spare wheel and hand start the wheel
bolts. Make sure to align the pins on the hub with the
small holes on the wheel. Lightly tighten the bolts. To
avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the bolts fully until the vehicle has been
lowered.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the
left.
9. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the
wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern
until each bolt has been tightened twice. For the
correct wheel bolt torque refer to “Torque Specifica-
tions” in this section. If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench
by your authorized dealership or service station.
10. Disassemble the jack and tools and place them in
the bag. Stow it under the driver’s seat and secure
the bag to the floor with the straps attached to the
floor of the vehicle.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the
vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare
tire in the places provided.
