WARNING
 Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem
(I) facing outward. If you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you have installed the
wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel
installed backwards can cause vehicle
damage and result in an accident.

loose.
[Type 2: On vehicles with aluminium
wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flange parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.

NOTE
 Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
compact spare wheel as shown in the illustra-

as soon as possible.
CAUTION
 Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
