6. Remove the lug nuts and tire.
7. Mount the spare tire.
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
NOTE:
• For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt
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
Operating" in the Owner's Manual on
the DVD for additional warnings, cau-
tions, and information about the spare
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.
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until 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-lbs (176 N·m). If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.
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.
