WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
6. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only
until the tire just clears the surface and
enough clearance is obtained to install
the spare tire. Minimum tire lift pro-
vides 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 130 ft lbs (176 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.
