WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
6. Install the spare wheel and wheel bolts with the cone shaped end of the bolts toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the bolts. To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack,
do not tighten the bolts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the bolts. Push down on the wrench while tightening the wheel bolts.
Alternate bolts until each bolt has been tightened twice. The correct wheel bolt
torque is 63 ft lbs (85 N·m) for steel wheels and 75 ft lbs (100 N·m) for aluminum
wheels. If you doubt that you have tightened the bolts correctly, have them checked
with a torque wrench by your authorized studio or service station.
9. Disassemble the jack and tools and place them in the bag. Stow it under the driver's
seat and secure the bag to the floor with the straps attached to the floor of the
vehicle.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area. Have the tire repaired or replaced as
soon as possible.
11. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure as
required.
Spare Tire Stowage
• Reverse instructions of the spare removal section.
• Rotate the jack wrench tool on the winch drive nut clockwise until effort becomes
heavy and an audible click is heard indicating the spare is properly stowed.
• The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack extension tube only. Use
of an air wrench or other power tools is not recommended and they can damage
the winch.
• Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those indi-
cated 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.
