W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S 4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange. NOTE: If the vehicle is too low for jack placement, slide the jack on its side and rotate it up into position. 5. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove the flat tire and install the spare tire. 6. Remove the lug nuts and tire. 7. Mount the spare tire. NOTE: • For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare. • Refer to "Compact Spare Tire" and to "Limited-Use Spare" under "Tires- General Information" in "Starting and Operating" in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for additional warnings, cautions, and information about the spare tire, its use, and operation. 8. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the lug nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. 9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 110 ft-lb. (150 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station. 11. Stow the jack, tools and flat tire. Make sure the base of the jack faces the front of the vehicle before tightening down the fastener. 79
