9. 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 66 to 81 ft-lb (90 to 110 N-m, 9 to
11 kg-m). This torque is equivalent to applying about 88 to 110 lbs
(40 to 50 kg) at the top of the wheel nut wrench provided to your ve-
hicle. Never use your foot on the wheel nut wrench or a pipe exten-
sion on the wrench because you may exceed the specified torque.
Have the wheel nut torque checked at the nearest automotive service
facility.
B Storage of the flat tire
CAUTION
D Secure the flat tire in the cargo bed (with the outer side of the
wheel facing up) by using the designated tire holding rod and
retainer. If the flat tire is not properly secured, it may fall out and
create a dangerous road hazard that could lead to a serious acci-
dent.
D Do not store the flat tire under the floor. Doing so could dam-
age the underside of the vehicle.
1. Take the tire holding rod and retainer out of the tool bag.
