Tightening wheel bolts
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the wheel bolt
– Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt to the right until it is tight.
WARNING
Slacken the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) as long as the vehicle has
not yet been jacked up - risk of an accident!.
Note

cult to slacken the bolts. Hold tight on the vehicle when doing this and ensure
that you have a steady position.
