NOTE
The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary sit-
uations such as changing wheels in the
event of a flat tire. Only the jack that came
with your particular model should be used
to lift the vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be
lifted more frequently or for a prolonged
period, using a garage jack or hoist is rec-
ommended. Always follow this device’s
instructions for use.
Installing the wheel
1. Clean the contact surfaces between the
wheel and hub.
2. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.
3. Install the wheel nuts and hand-tighten
them. Using the lug wrench, tighten cross-
wise until all nuts are snug.
4. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alter-
nately tighten the bolts crosswise to
81 ft. lbs. (110 Nm) or 96 ft. lbs. (130 Nm),
depending on the type of wheel/wheel nuts
used on your vehicle. See also 199 for
additional information.
5. Install the wheel cover (where applicable).
See page 197 for information on returning the
jack and tools to their proper storage positions.On vehicles equipped with the tire sealing sys-
tem, the jack should be cranked down as far as
possible and returned to its storage position in
the foam block.
WARNING
The jack and any tools should always be
returned to their proper storage compart-
ments after use to help keep them securely
in place in the event of sudden braking, etc.
