Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off
and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush
afterwards to remove all rust or dirt.
Vehicle Care
Lightly coat the inner diameter of the
wheel hub opening with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or tyre
rotation to prevent corrosion or rust
build-up.
Warning
Do not apply grease to the wheel
mounting surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts or bolts.
Grease applied to these areas could
cause a wheel to become loose or
detach, resulting in a collision.

Factors, such as maintenance, temperatures,
