(SRW) models. On dual rear wheel models (DRW) the

lug nuts are a two-piece assembly with a flat face.

Lightly tighten the nuts. To avoid risk of forcing the

vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the nuts until

the vehicle has been lowered.

6. Using the wheel wrench, finish tightening the nuts

using a crisscross pattern. For the proper lug nut torque

specifications refer to “Wheel and Tire Torque Speci-

fications” in this section. If in doubt about the correct

tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by

your authorized dealer or at a service station.

WARNING!

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could injure someone in the vehicle. Al-
ways stow the jack parts and the extra tire and wheel
in the places provided.

7. Install wheel center cap (if equipped) and remove

wheel blocks. Do not install chrome or aluminum

wheel center caps on the spare wheel. This may result

in cap damage.

8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the jack

will not lower by turning the dial (thumbwheel) by

hand, it may be necessary to use the jack drive tube in

order to lower the jack. Stow the replaced tire, jack,

and tools as previously described.

9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.
