and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the
tire and press it back over the other bolts.
Reinstall the wheel nuts and tighten them as much as you can
by hand. Press the tire back and see if you can tighten them
more.

Tightening torque:
103 N.m (10.5 kgf.m, 76 ft.lb)
10. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the wheel
nuts.
Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle.
Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do not use
other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands,
such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench is
securely engaged over the nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown. Repeat
the process until all the nuts are tight.CAUTION:
As soon as possible after changing wheels, have the
wheel nuts tightened by torque wrench at 103 N
.m (10.5
kgf.m, 76 ft.lb).
11. Reinstall the wheel ornament.
Put the wheel ornament into position and then tap it firmly with
the side or heel of your hand to snap it into place.
12. After changing the wheel, check the air pressure of the
replaced tire. Restow all the tools, jack and flat tire
securely.
If the pressure is low, drive slowly to the nearest service station
and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation valve cap as dirt and
moisture could get into the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new one put on as soon
as possible.
This is the same procedure for changing or rotating your tires.
