Road Tire Installation - Dodge Charger Owner's Manual

508 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
10. 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. The correct tight-
ness of each lug nut is 110 ft/lb. (150 N·m). If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them checked with
a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a
service station.
11. Stow the jack, tools and flat tire. Make sure the base
of the jack faces the back of the vehicle before
tightening down the fastener.
WARNING!
• A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the
vehicle.
• Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire re-
paired or replaced immediately.

Road Tire Installation

1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
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 jack,
do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in personal injury.
