For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the
compact spare.

Lightly tighten the wheel nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw counterclockwise with the jack
handle.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down
on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten

nut has been tightened twice. The correct
tightness of each lug nut is 100 ft.lbs. (135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque wrench by you authorized dealer or service station.
