WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Vehicles Without Wheel Covers
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.
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. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 102 ft/lbs
(138 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your 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.
• The winch mechanism is designed for use with the winch T-handle only. Use of
air wrench or other power tools is not recommended and can damage the
winch.
• Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
• Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
• The compact spare tire/cover assembly must be used when the compact spare
tire is stored. Failure to use this cover could drastically reduce the life of the
compact spare tire.
• The winch mechanism is designed specifically to stow a compact spare tire
only. Do not attempt to use the winch to stow the full size flat tire, or any other
full-size tire. Vehicle damage may result.
