To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off 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

correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.

torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all
lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.

trical system may occur.
