tighten the lug nuts in the order
shown.

jack and tools in their respective
locations, making sure they are fully
secured so they do not rattle when
you drive.

Stowing the spare tire

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing in the direction
specified on the Tire Changing Instructions located with the jack hardware.

2. Slide the wheel under the vehicle
and install the retainer through the
wheel center.

3. Turn the lug wrench clockwise
until the tire is raised to its original
position underneath the vehicle. The
lug wrench will click when the tire
is raised to the stowed position. It
will not allow you to overtighten.

sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or

vehicle damage.
