Never tow a trailer when the tempo-
rary spare tire is used. The tempo-
rary spare tire is not designed to
sustain the towing load. Use of the
temporary spare tire when towing
can result in failure of the spare tire
and/or less stability of the vehicle
and may lead to an accident.
Never use any temporary spare tire
other than the original. Using other
sizes may result in severe mechani-
cal damage to the drive train of your
vehicle.

13.Use the wheel nut wrench to securely
tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in
the illustration.
The torque for tightening the nuts is 58 to
72 lbf ∑ft (80 to 100 N ∑m, 8 to 10 kgf ∑m).
This torque is equivalent to applying ap-
proximately 88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50 kg) at
the top of the wheel nut wrench. Never
use your foot on the wheel nut wrench or
a pipe extension on the wrench because
you may exceed the specified torque.
Have the wheel nut torque checked at the
nearest automotive service facility. 14.Store the flat tire in the spare tire com-
partment.
Put the spacer and tighten the attaching
bolt firmly.
Also store the jack and wheel nut wrench
in their storage locations.After placing the jack in its storage loca-
tion, turn the jackscrew clockwise by hand
until it becomes too hard to turn. Then,
tighten it by an additional 1/4
1/3 of a
turn using a screwdriver or the jack han-
dle. Unless the jack is properly secured, it
may rattle while the vehicle is moving.
