5.
Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel off. Install the
spare wheel and wheel nuts with the cone shaped end of
the wheel nuts toward the wheel. To avoid the risk of
forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the
wheel nuts until the vehicle has been lowered.
6.
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. For the correct lug nut torque refer to
“Torque Specifications” in this section. If in doubt about
the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by you authorized dealer or service station.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could injure someone in the vehicle. Al-
ways stow the jack parts and the extra tire and wheel
in the places provided.
7. Install the wheel center cap and remove the wheel
blocks. Do not install chrome or aluminum wheel
center caps on the spare wheel. This may result in cap
damage.
8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the bottle
jack will not lower by turning the dial (thumbwheel)
by hand, it may be necessary to use the jack drive tube
in order to lower the jack. Stow the replaced tire, jack,
and tools as previously described.
9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.
NOTE: Do not oil wheel studs. For chrome wheels, do
not substitute with chrome plated wheel nuts.
