WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack,
do not fully tighten the wheel bolts until the vehicle
has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in personal injury.
6. Install the 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 dealer 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.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve-
hicle. Always stow the jack parts in the places
provided.
10. Check the tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct
the tire pressure as required.
