Rear Jacking Location
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install the spare
tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum
stability.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can
make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off
the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Mount the spare tire on the axle.
8. Install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped
end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts clockwise.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious injury.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to
the counterclockwise, and remove the jack.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
the wrench while tightening for increased
leverage. Alternate nuts until each nut has
been tightened twice. Refer to "Wheel And
Tire Torque Specifications" in "Technical
Specifications" for correct lug nut torque.
11. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut torque
with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts
are properly seated against the wheel.
12. Remove the jack assembly and wheel
blocks.
13. Secure the jack and tools in their proper
locations.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
14. Secure the damaged wheel/tire on the
spare tire carrier. Torque down lug nuts and
locking lug nut.
15. Return the lock bolt to the lock position
on the camera cover by turning the lock
clockwise using the provided #40 Torx head
driver and ratchet. Then, reinstall the camera
cover by slipping it over the camera/tire
carrier until it snaps into place.
Damaged Wheel/Tire Stowage
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.
