(138 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.

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 an 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.
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
