tool bag. Fold the flap on the tool bag under the tools and roll the tools in the bag
underneath the others. Use the Velcro straps to secure the tool bag to the jack with the
lug wrench on the forward side of the jack. Expand the jack on the bracket by turning the
thumb screw clockwise until it is tight to prevent rattles.

the cargo area. Roll up and store the Jack,

Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the
cone shaped end of the nut toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
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 twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 110 ft/lbs (150 N·m). If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized
dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug
nuts are properly seated against the wheel.
CAUTION!
• Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down. Impact type tools can damage
the winch mechanism.
• Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those indicated
in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
• Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could
be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
