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 personal
injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle
for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been
tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 130 ft-lbs (176 N·m). If in
doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that
all lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly, so please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
