9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the wheel bolt wrench counterclockwise.
10. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern until each
wheel bolt has been tightened twice. The correct torque specification for the wheel
bolts is 89 Ft-Lbs (120 Nm). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
11. Securely stow the jack, tools, chocks and flat tire.
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the oc-
cupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places pro-
vided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or replaced immediately.
