NOTE:
• Your vehicle may be equipped with a
compact spare tire or a limited — use

Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.

the jack handle counterclockwise.
10. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push
down on the wrench while at the end of

the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or at a service station.

and flat tire.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
