Wheel Mounting Surface
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until
each nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure
that the socket is fully engaged on the lug
nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).
NOTE:
If in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or service station.
After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/bolt
torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are
properly seated against the wheel.
Torque Patterns
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts fully
until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal
injury.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

6.4L Engine

Do not use E-85 flex fuel or ethanol blends
greater than 15% in this engine.
Your vehicle is designed to operate using high-
quality unleaded gasoline having a Research
Octane Number (RON) of 95 or higher. The
manufacturer recommends the use of 98 Re-
search Octane Number for optimum perfor-
mance.
While operating on gasoline with the required
octane number, hearing a light knocking sound
from the engine is not a cause for concern.
However, if the engine is heard making a heavy
knocking sound, see your dealer immediately.
Use of gasoline with a lower than recommended
octane number can cause engine failure and
may void or not be covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.

Methanol

(Methyl) is used in a variety of concentrations
when blended with unleaded gasoline. You may
find fuels containing 3% or more methanol along
with other alcohols called cosolvents. Problems
that result from using methanol/gasoline are not
the responsibility of the manufacturer. While
MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it
does not have the negative effects of Methanol.
WARNING!
Do not use gasolines containing Methanol.
Use of these blends may result in starting
and drivability problems and may damage
critical fuel system components.
