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 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 tightness of each lug nut is 130 ft-lb. (176 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.
NOTE:
For the SRT model the correct wheel nut tightness is 111 ft lbs (150 N·m).
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.
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.
