IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 371
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
clockwise. 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 end
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts
clockwise.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
counterclockwise, and remove the jack.
10. 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 Ú page 451. If in doubt about
the correct tightness, have them checked with
a torque wrench by an authorized dealer or at
a service station.
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.
TO STOW THE FLAT OR SPARE
1. Turn the wheel so that the valve stem is
facing upward and toward the rear of the
vehicle for convenience in checking the spare
tire inflation. Slide the wheel retainer through
the center of the wheel.
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.
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.
