WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 453 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. 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 location. Have the fullsized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as possible. 11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Reassemble 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. 12. Stow the jack, jack handle and winch handle tools back in the stowage compartment. 13. Check the compact spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure, as required. Wheel Nuts All wheel nuts should be tightened occasionally, to eliminate the possibility of wheel studs being sheared or the bolt holes in the wheels becoming elongated. This is especially important during the first few hundred miles of operation, and after each time a tire is changed, to allow the wheel nuts to become properly set. All nuts should first be firmly seated against the wheel. The nuts should then be tightened to recommended torque. Tighten the nuts to final torque in increments. Progress around the bolt circle, tightening the nut opposite to the nut just previously tightened until final torque is achieved. Recommended torque is 102 ft lbs (138 N·m). 6
