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

handle counterclockwise.

11. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the

wrench while at the end of the handle for increased

leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern

until each wheel bolt has been tightened twice. Refer

to “Torque Specifications” in this section for proper

lug bolt torque. If in doubt about the correct tight-

ness, have them checked with a torque wrench by

your authorized dealer or at a service station.

12. Lower the jack until it is free. Remove the wheel

chocks. Reassemble the lug wrench to the jack assem-

bly and stow it in the spare tire area. Securely stow

the jack, tools, chocks and flat tire. Release the

parking brake before driving the vehicle.

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.

wheel bolts with the threaded end of the bolt toward
