Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could

hicle and install the lug nuts with the

end

toward

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.

8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack

screw to the left, and remove the jack.

on the wrench while tightening for in-
creased leverage. Alternate nuts until

each nut has been tightened twice. Refer
to “Torque Specifications” in “Technical
Specifications” for correct lug nut torque.

10. Remove the jack assembly and wheel

blocks.

11. Secure the jack and tools in their proper

locations.

12. Secure the damaged wheel/tire on the

spare tire carrier. Torque down lug nuts
and locking lug nut.

13. Return the lock bolt to the lock position

on the camera cover by turning the lock
to the right using the provided #40 Torx
head driver and ratchet. Then, reinstall
the camera cover by slipping it over the
camera/tire carrier until it snaps into
place.

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.

has been tightened twice. For the correct
lug nut torque refer to “Torque Specifica-
tions” in “Technical Specifications”. If in
