from the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the
hub.

CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.

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.

(120 N·m) for aluminum wheels. If you doubt that you have tightened the bolts
correctly, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.
