10. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning
the jack handle counterclockwise.
11. 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. Refer
to “Wheel And Tire Torque Specifications” in
“Technical Specifications” for the proper lug
bolt torque. If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by an authorized dealer or at a
service station.
12. Place the jack on the foam tray and open it
far enough so that it is secured. Once
placed in position, rotate it clockwise to lock
it in. Replace the alignment pin in the center

bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all wheel bolts are properly seated
against the wheel.
