IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 319
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. Refer to “Torque Specifica-
tions” in “Technical Specifications” for
proper wheel lug nut torque. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an autho-
rized 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 compart-
ment 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.

toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts.
