2020 Ram ProMaster City wheel bolt torque

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 223
Mounting Spare Tire7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
Refer to “Torque Specifications” in “Technical Specifica -
tions” for proper wheel lug bolt torque.
8. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
9. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Refer to “Vehicles With Alloy Wheels” in this
section for instructions on stowing alloy wheels.
10. Stow the jack and tools under the driver’s seat.
11. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure, as required.

12. When you place the spare tire back on the winch or if you carry the tire in need of repair on the winch, always check
that the tire is properly secured under the vehicle by pushing
on the stowed tire under the rear bumper at the back of the
vehicle. If the tire has motion when pushed, use the tools to
re-tighten the winch until a loud click is heard.

WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not fully tighten the wheel bolts until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in serious injury.
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!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard
stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or
replaced immediately.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 227
6. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on thewrench while holding 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 “Technical Specifica -
tions” for correct wheel bolt torque.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all wheel bolts are properly
seated against the wheel.
TIRE SERVICE KIT — IF EQUIPPED
Small punctures up to ¼ inch (6 mm) in the tire tread can be
sealed with Tire Service Kit. Foreign objects (e.g., screws or
nails) should not be removed from the tire. Tire Service Kit
can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately
-4°F (-20°C).
This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing you to
drive your vehicle up to 100 miles (160 km) with a maximum
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Tire Service Kit Storage
The Tire Service Kit is located under the passenger seat.
Tire Service Kit Storage
Tire Service Kit Usage
If a tire is punctured, you can make a first emergency repair
using the Tire Service Kit located under the passenger seat.
Tire punctures of up to 1/4 inch (6 mm) can be repaired; the
kit can be used in all weather conditions. Do not remove the
foreign object from the punctured tire, i.e., screw or nail.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 295
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems.
If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capa-
bility, the remaining system will still function. However,
there will be some loss of overall braking effectiveness. You
may notice increased pedal travel during application, greater
pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential activation
of the “Brake System Warning Light”.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e., repeated
brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still
function. However, the effort required to brake the vehicle
will be much greater than that required with the power
system operating.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure that
the wheel is properly mounted to the vehicle. Any time a
wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly calibrated
torque wrench using a high quality six sided (hex) deep wall
socket.

296 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting the
tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles.Wheel Mounting Surface
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each nut/
bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure that the socket is fully
engaged on the lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway). Torque Patterns
After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/bolt torque to be
sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are properly seated against
the wheel.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the lug nuts/bolts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in personal injury.
