Road Tire Installation

1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug bolts with the threaded end of the bolt toward the wheel. Lightly

tighten the lug bolts.

3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the lug bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased

leverage. Tighten the lug bolts in a star pattern until each bolt has been tightened twice. The correct

tightness of each lug bolt is 100 ft/lbs (135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them

checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.

5. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug

bolts are properly seated against the wheel.

CAUTION!

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those indicated in the

Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
