550 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

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.

Mounting Spare Tire

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack,

do not fully tighten the wheel nuts until the vehicle

has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may

result in personal injury.

8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counter-

clockwise, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.

9. 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 wheel nut

tightness is 110 ft lbs (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.
