6. Remove the lug nuts and pull the wheel off. Install the
spare wheel and lug nuts with the cone shaped end
of the lug nuts toward the wheel. Hand tighten the lug
nuts with the vehicle lifted. To avoid the risk of forcing
the vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the lug
nuts until the vehicle has been completely lowered.
7. Lower the vehicle to the ground and finish tightening
the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench handle for
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star
pattern until each lug nut has been tightened twice
page 392. If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or at a service station.
8. If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel center cap,
install the cap and remove the wheel blocks. Do not
install chrome or aluminum wheel center caps on the
spare wheel. This may result in cap damage.
9. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. Stow the
replaced tire, and secure the jack and tools in the
proper location.
10. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.
