4. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot on the rear tie-down bracket, just forward of the

rear tire (as indicated by the triangular lift point symbol on the sill molding).
Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack

screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle just
enough to remove the flat tire.

6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.

7. Install the temporary spare wheel/tire and lightly tighten the lug nuts prior to lowering to

prevent the vehicle from moving on the jack.

8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw

counterclockwise, and remove the jack.

9. 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 110 ft lbs (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.
