► Place the ratchet wrench onto the
hexagon
nut of the jack so that the letters AB are
visible.
► Turn the ratchet wrench until the vehicle

once again standing firmly on the ground.
► Place the jack to one side.

Have the tightening torque checked
immediately after a wheel is changed. The
wheels could come loose if they are not
tightened to a torque of 110 lb/ft
