Vehicle Care

{

WARNING

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or a paper
towel can be used; however, use
a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.

8. Remove any rust or dirt from the

wheel bolts, mounting surfaces,
and spare wheel.

9. Place the compact spare tire on

the wheel-mounting surface.

{

WARNING

Never use oil or grease on bolts
or nuts because the nuts might
come loose. The vehicle's wheel
could fall off, causing a crash.

10. Reinstall the wheel nuts with

the rounded end of the nuts
toward the wheel. Tighten each
nut as much as possible using
the wheel wrench until the
wheel is held firmly against
the hub.

Use your free hand to prevent
the wheel from turning while
you are tightening.

11. Lower the vehicle by turning

the wrench counterclockwise.
Lower the jack completely.
