Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise but do not remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground. 143 Tires, Wheels and Loading When one of the rear wheels is off the ground, the transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in P (Park) (automatic transmission). To prevent the vehicle from moving when you change the tire, be sure that the parking brake is set and the diagonally opposite wheel is blocked. 6. Insert the hooked end of the jack handle into the jack and use the handle to slide the jack under the vehicle. Position the jack according to the following guides: · Front (4x2) · Front passenger side (4x4) 144 Tires, Wheels and Loading · Front driver side (4x4) Make sure the jack fits into the notched area on the differential housing. · Rear 8. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the wheel is completely off the ground and high enough to install the spare tire. To lessen the risk of personal injury, do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while changing a tire. The jack is only meant for changing the tire. · Never use the front or rear differential as a jacking point. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward. Refer to Wheel lug nut torque specifications later in this chapter for the proper lug nut torque specification. Make sure the jack is securely fastened so it does not rattle when driving. Unblock the wheels. WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km) after any wheel disturbance (rotation, flat tire, wheel removal, etc. ). N·m M14 x 1. 5 150 200 * Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. On all two-piece flat wheel nuts, apply one drop of motor oil between the flat washer and the nut. Do not apply motor oil to the wheel nut threads or the wheel stud threads. Bolt size 146 Tires, Wheels and Loading When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control. INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a U. S. DOT Tire Identification Number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall. Information on "P" type tires P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire size, load index and speed rating. (Note that the tire size, load index and speed rating for your vehicle may be different from this example. ) 1. [. . . ] Refer to your scheduled maintenance information to determine the correct service interval. Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as MERCON and MERCON V. These dual usage fluids are not to be used in an automatic transmission that requires use of the MERCON type fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require the MERCON V type fluid. [. . . ]
