The tightening torque for wheel bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 140 Nm. The tightening torque should be checked with a torque wrench
immediately after changing a wheel.
If the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to turn, they must be replaced and the wheel hub threads cleaned before the tightening torque is
checked.
Never grease or lubricate the wheel bolts or the threads of the wheel hub. This could cause them to loosen while the vehicle is in motion, even if
the required torque setting is used.
WARNING
Incorrectly tightened wheel bolts can loosen while the vehicle is in motion and cause accidents, serious injury, and loss of control of the vehicle.
Only use wheel bolts that belong to the wheel.
Never use different wheel bolts.
The wheel bolts and threads of the wheel hubs must be clean, free from oil and grease, and turn easily.
Always use the box spanner placed in the vehicle at the factory to loosen and tighten the wheel bolts.
Only loosen the wheel bolts by approximately one turn before raising the vehicle with the vehicle jack.
Never grease or lubricate the wheel bolts or the threads of the wheel hub. This could cause them to loosen while the vehicle is in motion,
even if the required torque setting is used.
Never remove the bolts on rims with bolted-on rings.
If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is too low, the wheel bolts and rims can loosen while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel bolts and
threads can be damaged if the tightening torque is too high.
