In case of emergency
9. Use the wheel nut wrench to securely tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque, following the tight-
ening order in the illustration. The torque for tightening
the nuts is 66 to 81 lbf·ft (90 to 110 N·m, 9 to 11 kgf·m).
This torque is equivalent to applying about 88 to 110
lbs (40 to 50 kg) at the top of the wheel nut wrench pro-
vided to your vehicle. Never use your foot on the wheel
nut wrench or a pipe extension on the wrench because
you may exceed the specified torque. Have the wheel
nut torque checked at the nearest automotive service
facility.
! Storage of the flat tire
" Secure the flat tire in the cargo bed (with the
outer side of the wheel facing up) by using the
designated tire holding rod and retainer. If the
flat tire is not properly secured, it may fall out
and create a dangerous road hazard that could
lead to a serious accident.
" Do not store the flat tire under the floor. Do-
ing so could damage the underside of the vehi-
cle.
1. Take the tire holding rod and retainer out of the tool
9-16
bag.
2. Remove the rubber cap from the cargo bed. Store
the rubber cap in a safe place. Pay attention not to
lose the rubber cap after removal.
