9. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise
the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire.
10. Install new or repaired tire and hand-tighten the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench in an alternating pattern. Always follow these instructions when changing a tire:
•
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel
nuts can cause the wheel to become loose or come
off. This could cause an accident.
• Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts to become loose.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or death and/or vehicle damage.
11. Securely torque the wheel nuts in an alternating pattern to 83 ft-lb (113 Nm) .
12.
Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground. Then, with the wheel nut wrench, tighten
the wheel nuts securely in the sequence illustrated (A
,B, C,D, E). Lower the vehicle completely. Always follow these instructions when using the jacking equipment or after changing a tire:
•
Always make sure that the spare tire and jacking equipment are properly secured after
use. Such items can become dangerous projectiles in an accident or sudden stop.
• When re-installing the spare tire under the vehicle after use, be sure to secure it with the tire stem facing down toward the ground. If the spare tire is improperly secured with the
tire stem facing up towards the bottom of the vehicle, there is an increased risk of
separating from the vehicle in the event of crash which may pose a hazard in traffic or
risk of injury to others.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
NOTE:
To help prevent squeaks and rattles, check that the tools are reinstalled and properly secured
in the stored place after use. 13. Remove the jack and securely store the flat tire, tools and jacking equipment in the vehicle. TURN by hand
