Mounting the Spare Tire

1. Remove dirt and grime from the 

mounting surfaces of the wheel and 
hub, including the hub bolts, with a 
cloth.

2. Mount the spare tire.

3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled 

edge inward; tighten them by hand.

Removing Dirt and Grime from 
Wheels, Hubs and Hub Bolts:
When changing or replacing a tire, 
not removing dirt and grime from the 
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub 
and hub bolts is dangerous. The lug 
nuts could loosen while driving and 
cause the tire to come off, resulting in 
an accident. Make sure the mounting 
surfaces of the wheel, hub and lug 
nuts are clean before changing or 
replacing tires.

WARNING

Don’t apply Oil or Grease to Lug 
Nuts, Bolts:
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and 
bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts could 
loosen while driving and cause the 
tire to come off, resulting in an 
accident. In addition, lug nuts and 
bolts could be damaged if tightened 
more than necessary. Do not apply oil 
or grease to lug nuts and bolts and do 
not tighten the lug nuts beyond the 
recommended tightening torque.
