7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. The correct wheel bolt torque is 63 ft lbs (86 N·m) for steel wheels and 89 ft lbs

(120 N·m) for aluminum wheels. If you doubt that you have tightened the bolts
correctly, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or
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 vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or replaced immediately.

10. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle.

NOTE:
For vehicles with alloy wheels remove the adapter bracket and bolts from the storage
bag in the glove compartment. Take the adapter and fit the plastic spacer between
the spring and the flange of the bracket. The plastic fin must be directed downwards
and perfectly coincide with the flange cut part; fit the bracket in the adapter, fit the
pin in the hole and fasten by the knob. Position the tire vertically and lay the mounted
adapter on the inner part of the rim, using the supplied bolts fasten the wheel to the
adapter using the bolt install wrench. Tighten the bolts with the wrench handle.
Rotate the winch mechanism clockwise until the wheel is properly stowed under the
vehicle.

This is for temporary use only.

11. Stow the jack and tools under the drivers seat.
12. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure, as

required.
