Fasten the flat tire to the vehicle by inserting the L-shaped bolt through
one of the lug bolt holes in the wheel. Turn it clockwise into the
threaded hole in the vehicle until the tire is secured.
If you are stowing the temporary spare tire, place the tire over the jack
and secure it with the large wing nut.
Stowing the tire and jack (limousine)
1. Fully collapse the jack. Place the jack and wrench into the jack foam
pockets.
2. Place the full size tire and wheel assembly in the well facing up on top
of the jack foam. Make sure that the aluminum wheel is centered in the
jack foam.
3. Secure the full size spare with the large wing nut.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.
