374 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
NOTE:
• For vehicles equipped, do not attempt to install a center
cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.
• Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for addi-
tional warnings, cautions, and information about the spare
tire, its use, and operation.
9. Install and lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
10. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise.
11. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the
wrench while 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 “Wheel
And Tire Torque Specifications” in “Technical Specifica-
tions” for the proper lug bolt torque. If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by an authorized dealer or at a service station.
12. Place the jack on the foam tray and open it far enough so
that it is secured. Once placed in position, rotate it clock-
wise to lock it in. Replace the alignment pin in the center
hole to lock the jack in place.
Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. 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 tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in serious injury.
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 repaired or
replaced immediately.
