Tightening torque which is too high can damage the threads and this can
result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim. Where
tightening torque is too low, the wheels may become loose while driving -
There is a risk of accident. Therefore drive cautiously and only at a moder-
ate speed until the tightening torque has been checked.
