IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
8. Mount the spare tire.
CAUTION!
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.
Mounting Spare Tire
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped, do not attempt to
install a center cap or wheel cover on the
compact spare.
For additional warnings, cautions, and infor-
mation about the spare tire, its use, and
operation Ú page 282.
9. Install and lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
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.
10. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the
jack handle counterclockwise.
11. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down
on the wrench while at the end of the handle
for increased leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts
in a star pattern until each wheel bolt has been
tightened twice Ú page 298. If in doubt about
the correct tightness, have them checked with
a torque wrench by an authorized dealer or at
a service station.
12. Lower the jack until it is free from the vehicle.
Remove the wheel blocks.
13. Recline the third row seating back to the
lowest possible recline angle. Making sure the
cargo bin cover is folded up against the third
row seat. Return the Jack and tools back into
the jack storage bin.
14. Place the damaged wheel in the storage bin
within the rear cargo area of the vehicle (this
will help reduce wheel movement during
travel). Release the parking brake before
driving the vehicle.
