6. Place the wrench on the jack screw
and turn to the right until the jack head is
properly engaged in the described loca-
tion. Do not raise the vehicle until you
are sure the jack is securely engaged.
7. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the right, using the swivel
wrench. Raise the vehicle only until the tire
just clears the surface and enough clear-
ance is obtained to install the spare tire.
Minimum tire lift provides maximum stabil-
ity.
Raising the vehicle higher than nec-
essary can make the vehicle less
stable. It could slip off the jack and
hurt someone near it. Raise the ve-
hicle only enough to remove the tire.
8. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for ve-
hicles with wheel covers, remove the
cover from the wheel by hand. Do not pry
the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off
the hub.
9. Install the compact spare tire. Lightly
tighten the lug nuts.
To avoid the risk of forcing the ve-
hicle off the jack, do not fully tighten
the wheel nuts until the vehicle has
been lowered.
WARNING!
NOTE:
• Do not install the wheel cover on the
compact spare.
• Do not use a hammer or force to install
the wheel covers.
10. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the left.
11. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push
down on the wrench while tightening for
increased leverage. Alternate lug nuts un-
til each nut has been tightened twice. The
correct wheel nut tightness is 95 ft lbs
(130 N·m). If in doubt about the correct
WARNING! tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer
or at a service station.
12. Lower the jack to its fully-closed posi-
tion.
