10. Tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps
until each nut has been tightened securely.
11. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
12. Push the piston down all the way, and turn
the release valve clockwise as far as pos-
sible.
13. Check your tyre inflation pressure. The
correct pressures are shown on the door
label. See the illustration.
WARNING
Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If
it is opened quickly, the vehicle will drop
abruptly and the jack may come out of
position, causing a serious accident.
Tightening torque
118 to 137 N•m
(Achieved by applying a force of 440 to
500 N at the end of the wheel nut
wrench supplied with the vehicle.)
CAUTION
Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
CAUTION
If the release valve is loosened too much
(2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise direc-
tion, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack can-
not be used.
Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.
NOTE
Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated point
will not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
If the jack is difficult to remove by hand,
insert the jack handle (M) into the bracket
(N). Then using the handle, remove the jack.
