6. Raise the vehicle by turning the

jack screw clockwise. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just
clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install
the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.

7. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.

8. Position the spare wheel/tire on

the vehicle and install the lug
nuts with the cone-shaped end
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten
the nuts.

9. Lower the vehicle by turning the

jack screw counterclockwise, and
remove the jack and wheel
blocks.

10. 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 wheel nut
tightness 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 at a service
station.

11. Lower the jack to the fully closed position and return it and the tools to

the proper positions in the foam tray.

12. Remove the small center cap and securely store the road wheel in the

cargo area.

13. Have the aluminum road wheel

and tire repaired as soon as
possible, properly secure the
spare tire with the special wing
nut torqued to 3.7 ft-lbs (5 N·m),
reinstall the jack and tool kit
foam tray, and latch the rear load
floor cover.
