Mounting Spare Tire
NOTE:
• For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a center
cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.
• Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to “Limited Use Spare”
under “Tires” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for addi-
tional warnings, cautions, and information about the spare
tire, its use, and operation.
9. Install the wheel bolts with the threaded end of the wheel
bolt toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
10. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise.
11. 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 wheel bolt has been tightened twice. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by an authorized dealer or at a service
station.
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.
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 to the ground. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury.
