4. Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack
can be placed under the jacking location.
Once the jack is positioned, turn the jack
screw to the right until the jack head is prop-
erly engaged with the lift area closest to the
wheel to be changed. Do not raise the ve-
hicle until you are sure the jack is securely
engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the
spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.
6. Remove the wheel nuts, and pull the wheel and wheel covers (where applicable) off the hub.
Install the spare wheel and wheel nuts with the cone shaped end of the nuts toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the nuts.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
to the left.
8. Finish tightening the 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 tight-
ened twice. The correct wheel nut torque is
100 ft lbs (135 N·m). If you doubt that you
have tightened the nuts correctly, have
them checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service station.
9. Remove the wheel blocks and lower the jack until it is free. Reassemble the lug wrench to the
jack assembly and stow it in the spare tire area. Secure the assembly using the means provided.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area and have the tire repaired or replaced as soon
as possible.
11. Check the tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure as required.
