shown. Repeat the process until all the nuts
are tight.
CAUTION
When lowering the vehicle, make sure

all portions of your body and all other

Have the wheel nuts tightened with
D
torque wrench to 103 Nm (10.5 kgf m,

changing wheels. Otherwise, the nuts
may loosen and the wheels may fall
off, which could cause a serious acci-
dent.
Do not attach a heavily damaged plas-
D
tic wheel ornament. It may fly off the
