CAUTION!
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.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left. 8. Refer to “Torque Specifications” in
“Technical Specifications” for proper
wheel lug bolt torque.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire re-
paired or replaced immediately.
10. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Refer to “Vehicles
With Alloy Wheels” in this section for
instructions on stowing alloy wheels.
11. Stow the jack and tools under the driv- er’s seat.
12. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure, as
required.
13. When you place the spare tire back on the winch or if you carry the tire in need
of repair on the winch, always check that
the tire is properly secured under the vehicle by pushing on the stowed tire
under the rear bumper at the back of the
vehicle. If the tire has motion when
pushed, use the tools to retighten the
winch until a loud click is heard.
Vehicles With Alloy Wheels
For stowing a damaged tire on vehicles with
alloy wheels, remove the adapter bracket and
bolts from the storage bag in the glove com-
partment and follow the steps below:
1. Take the adapter and fit the plastic spacer
between the spring and the flange of the
bracket (The adapter bracket is sold sepa-
rately through the dealer).
2. The plastic fin must be directed down- wards and perfectly coincide with the
flange cut part; fit the bracket in the
adapter, fold the bracket up and secure it
to the adapter with the fastening knob.
3. Position the tire vertically and lay the mounted adapter on the inner part of the
rim, using the supplied bolts fasten the
wheel to the adapter using the bolt install
wrench.
4. Tighten the bolts with the wrench handle.

5. Rotate the winch mechanism clockwiseuntil the wheel is properly stowed under
the vehicle and until the wench makes
three audible noises.
6. Reach underneath and shake tire by hand to confirm that it is secure. The tire should
not move. If the tire is still loose and/or
three audible noises are not heard, place
and secure damaged wheel into the ve-
hicle and seek dealer assistance for the
winch mechanism.
This is for temporary use only.
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
wheel bolts on the wheel. Install the wheel
bolts with the threaded end of the bolt
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the
wheel bolts. 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 wheel bolts. Do not use a
hammer or excessive force to install the
cover.
4. Install the remaining wheel bolts with the threaded end of the wheel bolt toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
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
serious injury.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while holding at the
end of the handle for increased leverage.
Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern
until each wheel bolt has been tightened
twice. Refer to “Torque Specifications” in
“Technical Specifications” for correct
wheel bolt torque.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all wheel bolts are properly seated
against the wheel.

WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to
the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been re-
moved and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug
nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly
calibrated torque wrench using a high quality
six sided (hex) deep wall socket.

**Use only your authorized dealer recom-
mended lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove
any dirt or oil before tightening. Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion
or loose particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern
until each nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
Ensure that the socket is fully engaged on the
lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).
After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/
bolt torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/
bolts are properly seated against the wheel.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully
until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure
to follow this warning may result in per-
sonal injury.
