WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 3. 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. 4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise with the jack handle. Raise the vehicle until the tire just clears the road surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability. 5. Remove the wheel nuts. For vehicles so equipped, remove the wheel cover from the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub. 6. Install the spare tire. NOTE: For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare. 7. Install the wheel nuts with the coneshaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel nuts. 8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise with the jack handle. 9. 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 100 ft.lbs. (135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by you authorized dealer or service station. 10. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. 82
