3. With the front direction arrow label on the top right
side of the crossbar pointing toward the front of the ve-
hicle, carefully place the crossbar across the top of the
vehicle so that the crossbar end supports rest on the
top of the roof rails approximately 6 inches (150 mm)
rearward from the seam (joint) between the front roof
rail support and the roof rail.
4. Rotate (raise) the lower clamp up to the bottom of
the roof rail and loosely tighten the T-30 torx® head
screw with the torx® wrench provided, through the top
of the end support and into the threaded insert in the lower clamp on each end of the crossbar.
NOTE
It may be necessary to squeeze the lower clamp
and the end support together to compress the
pads and gain a better alignment of the pieces
while trying to start the screw. Use care not to
crossthread the screw in the insert.
5. Adjust the alignment of the crossbar on the roof
rails, and if available, use a T-30 torx® bit and torque
wrench and tighten the T-30 torx® head screws to 30
to 35 lbf·in (3.4 to 4.0 N·m, 0.35 to 0.41 kgf·m) of
torque (or tighten securely with the torx® wrench pro-
vided).MAXIMUM LOAD

12.Put on the spare tire. Replace the wheel nuts.
Tighten them by hand.
13.Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the
vehicle.
14.Use the wheel nut wrench to securely tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque, following the tight-
ening order in the illustration.
The torque for tightening the nuts is 58 to 72 lbf·ft (78
to 98 N·m, 8 to 10 kgf·m). This torque is equivalent to
applying about 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 automo-
tive service facility.
15.Store the flat tire in the spare tire compartment.
When storing a conventional tire, put the spacer up-
side down and tighten the attaching bolt firmly.
Also store the jack and wheel nut wrench in their stor-
age locations.
After placing the jack in its storage location, 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 handle. Unless the
jack is properly secured, it may rattle while the vehicle is moving.
Never place a tire or tire changing tools in the
passenger compartment after changing
wheels. In a sudden stop or collisions, loose
equipment could strike occupants and cause
injury. Store the tire and all tools in the proper
