Mounting The Tire

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.

2. Mount the tire and install the lug
nuts with the beveled edge inward, then
tighten them by hand.

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.

3. Turn the lug wrench
counterclockwise and lower the vehicle.
Use the lug wrench to tighten the nuts
in the order shown.

Warning!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully
until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure
to follow this warning may result in serious
injury.

4. After tightening the lug nuts, have
them checked with a torque wrench by
an authorized dealer or service station
to verify correct tightness.

5. Remove the tire blocks and store
the tools and jack.

6. Check the inflation pressure. Refer
to “Technical Specifications” for more
information.

With TPMS

Do not push the tire pressure
monitoring system set switch after
installing the spare tire. The switch is
only to be pushed after installing the
repaired flat tire or installing a
replacement tire.

Note:

To prevent the jack and tool from

rattling, store them properly.

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.
