278 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure
60 psi (4.2 Bar) using the Portable Air
Compressor Ú page 279 or Tire Service Kit if
equipped Ú page 280.
9. Lower the vehicle once the inflatable Spare
has reached its pressure and the
compressor-hose has been removed from the
tire valve.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
the wrench while at the end of the handle for
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a
star pattern until each nut has been tightened
twice Ú page 343. If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by an authorized dealer or at a
service station.
11. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
12. Place the deflated (flat) tire and foam tray
cover assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not
stow the deflated tire in the inflatable spare
tire location. Have the full-sized tire repaired or
replaced, as soon as possible.
13. Stow the jack back in the stowage
compartment and place the access panel
back. The stud of the storage area must be
threaded through the lower part of the jack.
Then turn the Jack Screw clockwise to secure
it in place.
NOTE:
Stow the foam tray and components in the cargo
area.

Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
