counterclockwise, and remove the jack and
wheel blocks.
10. 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. For correct lug nut torque,
refer to “Wheel And Tire Torque Specifi
-
cations” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by an authorized dealer or at
a service station.
Tighten Lug Nuts
11. Lower the jack to the fully closed position
and return it and the tools to the proper
positions in the foam tray.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can
make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off
the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the inflatable spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.
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.
