CAUTION:

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 5-110 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 5-110
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
100 miles (160 km) and then 1,000 miles (1600 km)
after that. Repeat this service whenever you have
a tire removed or serviced. See Capacities and
Specifications
on page 5-110 for more information.
