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

nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. To

avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not

tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle is lowered to

the ground.

WARNING!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack,
do not fully tighten the wheel nuts 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 tightening for increased leverage. Alternate

lug nuts until each nut has been tightened twice. The

correct tightness of each lug nut is 110 ft/lb. (150 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.
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.

WARNING!

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision

or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the
vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare
tire in the places provided.

Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or replaced

immediately.
