13.Use the wheel nut wrench to securely
tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in
the illustration.
The torque for tightening the nuts is 100 to
120 N·m (10 to 12 kgf·m, 74 to 89 lbf·ft).
This torque is equivalent to applying ap-
proximately 40 to 50 kg (88 to 110 lbs) at
the top of the wheel nut wrench. Never
use your foot on the wheel nut wrench or
a pipe extension on the wrench because
you may exceed the specified torque.
Have the wheel nut torque checked at the
nearest automotive service facility.
14.Store the flat tire in the spare tire com-
partment.
Put the spacer and tighten the attaching
bolt firmly.

Also store the jack and jack handle in their
storage locations.
Never place a tire or tire changing
tools in the passenger compartment
after changing wheels. In a sudden
stop or collisions, loose equipment
could strike occupants and cause
injury. Store the tire and all tools in
the proper place.
