WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
3. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw
clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw clockwise with the jack handle.
Raise the vehicle until the tire just clears
the road surface and enough clearance is
obtained to install the spare tire. Mini-
mum tire lift provides maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel nuts. For vehicles so
equipped, remove the wheel cover from
the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel
cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the spare tire.
NOTE:
For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to
install a center cap or wheel cover on the
compact spare.
7. Install the wheel nuts with the cone-
shaped end of the nut toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the wheel nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw counterclockwise with the jack
handle.
9. 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 95 ft.lbs.
(130 N·m). If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by you authorized dealer or
service station.
10. Lower the jack to its fully closed position.
