WARNING!

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 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 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 at a service
station.
