Mounting Spare Tire
NOTE:
For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install
a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare
Ú page 280.
8. Install the wheel bolts with the threaded end of
the wheel bolt toward the wheel. Lightly tighten
the wheel bolts.
9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the
wheel bolt wrench counterclockwise.
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 289.
11. Securely stow the jack, tools, chocks and flat
tire.
12. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt to
ensure that all wheel bolts are properly seated
against the wheel. If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by an authorized dealer or at a service
station.
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.
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 fully tighten the wheel bolts until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury.
