294 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Rear Jacking Location
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
clo
ckwise. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the ground 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
en
d toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts clockwise.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
co
unterclockwise, and remove the jack.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
th
e 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. If
in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or service station.
11. After 25 m
iles (40 km), check the lug nut
tor que with a torque wrench to ensure that
all lug nuts are properly seated against the
wheel.
CAUTION!
Before raising the wheel off the ground, make
sure that the jack will not damage
surrounding truck parts and adjust the jack
position as required.
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.
