Have the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as
soon as possible.

and place the access panel back. The stud of the
storage area must be threaded through the lower

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 mount-
ing 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.
Tire And Wheel Cover Or Center Cap
1 — Valve Stem
2 — Valve Notch
3 — Road Tire
4 — Wheel Cover
5 — Wheel Lug Nut
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the
valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand,
snapping the cover over the two lug nuts. Do not use
a hammer or excessive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped
end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten all
the lug nuts until the wheel sits flush onto the hub
and there is no play. The nuts will have to be fully
tightened once the vehicle is lowered. Tightening an
improperly seated wheel under vehicle load can
damage the threads, cause vibration, and under-
mine safety.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in serious injury.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise.
6. 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. Details for
proper wheel lug nut torque page 223. If in
doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an authorized
dealer or at a service station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with
a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are prop-
erly seated against the wheel.
