CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if
the inflatable spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
7. Secure the wheel to the hub by tightening the
nuts with wrench. Once the vehicle is lowered
you will have a second opportunity to “torque”
the lug nuts.
8. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the
wrench while at the end of the handle for in-
creased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star
pattern until each nut has been tightened twice.
Refer to “Torque Specifications” in “Technical
Specifications” for proper wheel lug nut torque.
If in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by an autho-
rized dealer or at a service station.
9. Lower the jack to its fully lowered position.
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. Have the de-
flated (flat) tire repaired or replaced immedi-
ately.
Road Tire Installation
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels
with wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the
mounting studs which are on each side of the
valve stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly
tighten the lug nuts.
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the
valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by
hand, snapping the cover over the two lug nuts.
Do not use a hammer or excessive force to install
the cover.
