Three different types of wheel nuts may be
used on your vehicle, depending on whether
the wheels are steel or aluminum.

•
Type 2 wheel nuts: 96 ft. lbs. (130 Nm)

Lockable wheel nuts: 81 ft. lbs. (110 Nm)
Steel rims – type 1 wheel nuts
Steel rims are normally secured using type 1
wheel nuts, although these rims may also be
secured with type 2 nuts.
WARNING
Never use type 1 wheel nuts for aluminum
wheels. This could cause the wheel to come
loose.
Aluminum wheels – type 2 wheel nuts
Only type 2 wheel nuts can be used for alumi-
num wheels.
NOTE
These nuts can also be used on steel
wheels.
Lockable wheel nut
If steel wheels with lockable wheel nuts are
used in combination with wheel covers, the
lockable wheel nut must be fitted to the stud
nearest the air valve. The wheel cover cannot
otherwise be installed on the wheel.
