Road Tire Installation - Chrysler pacifica hybrid 2017 Owner's Manual

412 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Installing Tire
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the tire with the valve stem facing
outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the inflat-
able spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
7. Secure the wheel to the hub by tightening the nuts with
wrench. Once the vehicle is lowered you will have a
second opportunity to "torque" the lug nuts.
8. 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. Refer to "Torque Specifi-
cations" in "Technical Specifications" for proper wheel
lug nut torque. If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service station.
9. Lower the jack to its fully lowered position.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.

Road Tire Installation

Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with
wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting
studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install
the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
