5. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the

wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate

lug nuts until each nut has been tightened twice. The

correct tightness of each lug nut is 110 ft/lb. (150 N·m). If

in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked

with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a

service station.
6. For vehicles equipped with center caps, install the

center cap by hand. Do not use a hammer or excessive

force to install the center cap.
7. Stow the jack, tools, and spare tire. Make sure the base

of the jack faces the front of the vehicle before tightening

down the fastener.

WARNING!

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve-
hicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in
the places provided.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES
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.
