12.Turn the jack handle counterclockwise

to lower the vehicle.

13.Use the wheel nut wrench to securely

tighten the wheel nuts to the specified

torque, following the tightening order in

the illustration.

The torque for tightening the nuts is 58 to

72 lbf·ft (80 to 100 N·m, 8 to 10 kgf·m).

This torque is equivalent to applying ap-

proximately 88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50 kg) at

the top of the wheel nut wrench. Never

use your foot on the wheel nut wrench or

a pipe extension on the wrench because

you may exceed the specified torque.

Have the wheel nut torque checked at the

nearest automotive service facility.

14.Store the flat tire in the spare tire com-

partment.

Put the spacer and tighten the attaching

bolt firmly.

Also store the jack and wheel nut wrench

in their storage locations.

After placing the jack in its storage loca-

tion, turn the jackscrew clockwise by hand

until it becomes too hard to turn. Then,

tighten it by an additional 1/4 – 1/3 of a

turn using a screwdriver or the jack han-

dle. Unless the jack is properly secured, it

may rattle while the vehicle is moving.

Do not use oil or grease on the

wheel studs or nuts when the spare

tire is installed. This could cause the

nuts to become loose and lead to an

accident.

Never place a tire or tire changing

tools in the passenger compartment

after changing wheels. In a sudden

stop or collisions, loose equipment

could strike occupants and cause

injury. Store the tire and all tools in

the proper place.
