2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nut toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the

the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning
the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. 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. For the correct lug nut
torque refer to "Wheel And Tire Torque

If in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut
torque with a torque wrench to ensure that
all lug nuts are properly seated against the
wheel.
