NOTE:

• For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a

center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.

• Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to “Limited-Use

Spare” under “Tires—General Information” in

“Starting and Operating” for additional warnings,

cautions, and information about the spare tire, its

use, and operation.

8. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the lug

nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

WARNING!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack,
do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in personal injury.

9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack

handle counterclockwise.

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. For the correct lug

nut torque refer to Torque Specifications in this

section. If in doubt about the correct tightness, have

them checked with a torque wrench by your autho-

rized dealer or at a service station.

11. Stow the jack, tools and flat tire. Make sure the base

of the jack faces the front of the vehicle before

tightening down the fastener.
