Due to the greater weight of AWD-equipped cars, these models have an additional jack attachment point, located directly in front of the rear axle. When using a workshop floor jack, make sure that the correct attachment

is used and that the jack does not damage the fuel tank.

The attachment is, of course, also intended for use with the standard jack supplied with the car.

Installing the wheel

Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see

illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the nuts to 81 ft. lbs. (110 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

WARNING!

• The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack's attachment (B).

• Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.

• Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.

• Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the end of the car being worked on.

• Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission).

• Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.

• The jack should be kept well-greased.
