slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.

7. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install
lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel.

vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered.

wheel nut tightness is 95 ft lb (130 N·m). If in doubt about
the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
