Mounting Spare Tire
NOTE:
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
compact spare tire or a limited-use
spare tire. For further information refer
to “Tires” in “Servicing And Mainte-
nance”.
For vehicles so equipped, do not
attempt to install a center cap or wheel
cover on the compact spare.
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. 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.
11. Securely stow the jack, tools, chocks and
flat tire.

follow this warning may result in serious
injury.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the

provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
