light JEEP PATRIOT 2013 1.G Owner's Manual

• For vehicles equipped with plastictrim, the plastic has been cut away
to expose the jacking locations in
the body.
• Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
3. Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the jacking
location. Once the jack is positioned,
turn the jack screw to the right until
the jack head is properly engaged with
the lift area closest to the wheel to be
changed.
4. Using the swivel wrench raise the ve- hicle by turning the jack screw to the
right. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install the
spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel and wheel covers, where appli-
cable, off the hub. Install the spare
wheel and wheel nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nuts toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
NOTE:
The wheel cover is held on the wheel by
the wheel nuts. When reinstalling the
original wheel, properly align the wheel
cover to the valve stem, place the wheel
cover onto the wheel, then install the
wheel nuts.
6. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
7.
Finish tightening the nuts. Push down
on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten
the lug nuts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. The
correct wheel nut torque is 100 ft lbs
(135 N·m). If you doubt that you have tightened the nuts correctly, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.

8. Remove the wheel blocks and lower the jack until it is free. Reassemble the lugwrench to the jack assembly and stow it in the spare tire area. Secure the
assembly using the means provided.
9. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area, have the tire repaired or replaced as
soon as possible.
10. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure as required.
Road Tire Installation
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two lugnuts on the mounting studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install the
lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the
lug nuts.
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the
wheel. Install the cover by hand,
snapping the cover over the two lug
nuts. Do not use a hammer or exces-
sive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclock-
wise.
6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end
of the handle for increased leverage.
Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern
until each nut has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is
100 ft/lbs (135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked
with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.

has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 100 ft/lbs
(135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.
