Jacking up vehicle and removing
the damaged tire
WARNING
∙ Never get under the vehicle while it issupported only by the jack. If it is neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
∙ Use only the jack provided with your ve- hicle to lift the vehicle. Do not use the jack
provided with your vehicle on other ve-
hicles. The jack is designed for lifting only
your vehicle during a tire change.
∙ Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
∙ Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
∙ Never use blocks on or under the jack.
∙ Do not start or run the engine while ve- hicle is on the jack. It may cause the ve-
hicle to move. This is especially true for
vehicles with limited slip differentials.
∙ Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack. ∙ Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off
the ground. It may cause the vehicle to
move.
Always refer to the illustration for the correct
placement and jack-up points for your spe-

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches 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.
WARNING
∙ Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tight- ened 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.
∙ Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve- hicle has been driven for 1,000 km
(621 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 113 N·m (83 ft-lb)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recommended
that wheel nuts be tightened to specifica-
tions at each lubrication interval. Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure: After the vehicle has been
parked for 3 hours or more or driven less
than 1.6 km (1 mile).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
Placard affixed to the driver side center pil-
lar.
5. Securely store the flat tire, tools and jacking equipment in the vehicle.
6. Close the liftgate.
WARNING
∙ Always make sure that the spare tire and jacking equipment are properly secured
after use. Such items can become danger-
ous projectiles in an accident or sudden
stop.
∙ The spare tire is designed for emergency use. For additional information, refer to
“Wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual. ∙ 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
