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 102 ft lbs (138 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.

9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.

WARNING!

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve-
hicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in
the places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.

10. Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire

cover assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not stow the
deflated tire in the spare tire location.

Have the

full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as possible.

11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the

vehicle. Reassemble the winch handle extensions to
form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle over the drive
nut. Rotate the nut to the right until the winch
mechanism clicks at least three times.
