result in personal injury.
NOTE: Do not install the wheel cover on the compact
spare.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. 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. The correct wheel
nut tightness is 102 ft lbs (138 N·m).If in doubt about
the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service
station.
