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 lug nuts fully
until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. 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. The correct torque specification for the wheel bolts is
89 Ft-Lbs (120 Nm). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with
a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
5. Lower the jack until it is free. Remove the wheel chocks. Stow the jack and tools
back in the proper storage location. Release the Electric Park Brake before driving
the vehicle.
6. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt torque with a torque wrench to
ensure that all wheel bolts 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.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and precautions.
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.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.
