NOTE:

• For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a

center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.

• Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to “Limited-Use

Spare” under “Tires—General Information” in

“Starting And Operating” for additional warnings,

cautions, and information about the spare tire, its

use, and operation.

8. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the lug

nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

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 personal injury.

9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack

handle counterclockwise.

10. Refer to “Torque Specifications” in this section for

proper lug nut torque.

11. Stow the jack, tools and flat 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. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
