EMERGENCIES
6. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle
only until the tire just clears the sur-
face and enough clearance is ob-
tained to install the spare tire. Mini-
mum tire lift provides maximum
stability.
7. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
8. Position the spare wheel/tire on the
vehicle and install the lug nuts with
the cone-shaped end toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw counterclockwise, and remove
the jack and wheel blocks.
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 wheel nut tight-
ness is 110 ft lbs (150 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.
11. Lower the jack to the fully closed position and return it and the tools to the
proper positions in the foam tray.
12. Remove the small center cap and securely store the road wheel in the cargo area.
13. Have the aluminum road wheel and
tire repaired as soon as possible,
properly secure the spare tire with
the special wing nut torqued to 3.7
ft-lbs (5 N·m), reinstall the jack and
tool kit foam tray, and latch the rear
load floor cover.
Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the
cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
