7. Mount the spare tire.
NOTE:
• For vehicles so equipped, do not at-
tempt to install a center cap or wheel
cover on the compact spare.
• Refer to "Compact Spare Tire" and to
"Limited-Use Spare" under "Tires—
General Information" in "Starting and

tire, its use, and operation.
8. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the lug nut toward the wheel. Lightly
tighten the lug nuts.
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.
