CAUTION
Replacing a flat tire
■
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it from under the
●
vehicle.
Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the
●
ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
●
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading to
bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts
to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a serious accident. Remove any oil or
grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 97 ft•lbf (131 N•m, 13.4
●
kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and the wheel
may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel while
●
the vehicle is moving.
