CAUTION!
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.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the ve-
hicle off the jack, do not tighten the
wheel nuts fully until the vehicle
has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in personal
injury.
NOTE: Do not install the wheel
cover on the compact spare. 7. Lower the vehicle by turning the
jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the lug nuts.
Push down on the wrench while at the
end of the handle for increased lever-
age. Tighten the lug nuts in a star
pattern until each nut has been tight-
ened twice. Refer to “Torque Specifi-
cations” in this section for proper
wheel lug nut torque. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service sta-
tion.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed
position.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 pro-
vided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire and
compact spare tire cover assembly in
the rear cargo area.
Do not stow the
deflated tire in the spare tire loca-
tion. Have the full-sized tire repaired
or replaced, as soon as possible.
11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer
before driving the vehicle. Reas-
semble the winch handle extensions to
form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle
over the drive nut. Rotate the nut to
the right until the winch mechanism
clicks at least three times.
NOTE: Refer to the “Spare Tire
Tools” section for instructions on
assembling the T-handle.
12. Stow the jack, jack handle and
winch handle tools back in the stow-
age compartment.
13. Check the compact spare tire
pressure as soon as possible. Correct
the tire pressure, as required.

ROAD TIRE
INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel
Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for
steel wheels with wheel covers, install
two lug nuts on the mounting studs
which are on each side of the valve
stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nut toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.3. Align the valve notch in the wheel
cover with the valve stem on the
wheel. Install the cover by hand,
snapping the cover over the two lug
nuts. Do not use a hammer or exces-
sive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with
the cone shaped end of the nut toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the ve-
hicle off the jack, do not tighten the
wheel nuts fully until the vehicle
has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in personal
injury.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by
turning the jack handle counterclock-
wise.
6. Refer to “Torque Specifications”
in this section for correct lug nut
torque.
7. After 40 km check the lug nut
torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all lug nuts are properly seated
against the wheel.
Vehicles Without Wheel Covers
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
