WARNING
Wheel nuts that are improperly or
incorrectly tightened can cause
the wheels to become loose or
come off. The wheel nuts should
be tightened with a torque wrench
to the proper torque specification
after replacing. Follow the torque
specification supplied by the
aftermarket manufacturer when
using accessory locking wheel
nuts. See Capacities and
Specifications on page 12‑2 for
original equipment wheel nut
torque specifications.
Notice: Improperly tightened
wheel nuts can lead to brake
pulsation and rotor damage. To
avoid expensive brake repairs,
evenly tighten the wheel nuts in
the proper sequence and to the
proper torque specification. See
Capacities and Specifications on
page 12‑2 for the wheel nut
torque specification.
11. Use the wheel wrench to
tighten the nuts firmly.
Turn the wheel wrench
clockwise and in a crisscross
sequence as shown.
12. Put the wheel cover or the
center cap and plastic wheel
nut caps back on. Remove any
wheel blocks.
Have a technician check
the wheel nut tightness
of all wheels with a
torque wrench after the
first 160 km (100 miles) and
then 1600 km (1,000 miles)
after that. Repeat this service
whenever you have a tire
removed or serviced. See
Capacities and Specifications
on page 12‑2 for more
information.
