WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to
the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been re-
moved and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug
nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly
calibrated torque wrench using a high quality
six sided (hex) deep wall socket.

**Use only an authorized dealer recom-
mended lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove
any dirt or oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion
or loose particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern
until each nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
Ensure that the socket is fully engaged on the
lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).

After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/
bolt torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/
bolts are properly seated against the wheel.
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
personal injury.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

2.0L Engine

This engine is designed
to meet all emissions
requirements,
provide satisfactory fuel
economy
mance,
high quality
"Regular" gasoline
ing an octane rating of 87, as specified by the
(R+M)/2 method.
The use of a 91 or higher octane "premium"
gasoline will allow these engines to operate to
optimal performance. This increase in performance
is most noticeable in hot weather or other heavier
load conditions, such as while towing.
While operating on gasoline with the required
octane number, hearing a light knocking sound from
the engine is not a cause for concern. However, if
the engine is heard making a heavy knocking sound,
see your dealer immediately. Use of gasoline with
a lower than recom-mended octane number can
cause engine fail-ure and may void or not be covered
by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
