330 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Mounting Inflatable Spare Tire
NOTE:
Do not install the wheel cover on the inflatable
spare tire.
7. Leave the vehicle on the jack and start
inflating the inflatable spare after the tire has
been mounted to the vehicle. Secure the
wheel to the hub by tightening the nuts with
the wrench. After inflation, once the vehicle is
lowered you will have a second opportunity to
“torque” the lug nuts
Ú
page 405.
8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure
60 psi (4.2 Bar) using the Portable Air
Compressor Ú page 332 or Tire Service Kit
if equipped Ú page 333.
9. Lower the vehicle once the inflatable Spare
has reached its pressure and the
compressor-hose has been removed from
the tire valve.
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 Ú page 405. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized 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
compartment 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.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious
injury.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the inflatable spare tire with
the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the inflatable spare tire
is mounted incorrectly.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack
parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.
