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.

Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting

the tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles.

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.

Wheel Mounting Surface

Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each

nut/bolt has been tightened twice.

WARNING!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack,

do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle

has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning

may result in personal injury.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING — IF

EQUIPPED

Jack Location

The jack and jack wrench tool are stowed in a bag under

the front driver’s seat.

WARNING!

• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the

vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off

the road to avoid the danger of being hit when

operating the jack or changing the wheel.

• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.

The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you.

You could be crushed. Never put any part of your

body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need

to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service

center where it can be raised on a lift.

• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is

on a jack.

Jack And Jack-Handle Location

• The jack is designed to be used as a tool for

changing tires only. The jack should not be used

to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The ve-

hicle should be jacked on a firm level surface

only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
