How to change a tyre
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered area (A) of the nuts
lightly touches the wheel hole seat
area (B) enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling.

CAUTION
l
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE
l
Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
l
If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.

For emergencies
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in
the illustration until each nut has been
tightened to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque 88 to 108 Nm
OGAE15E5
(Achieved by applying force of 350 to
420 N at end of wheel nut wrench sup-
plied with vehicle)
CAUTION
l
Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install
it.
Refer to "Wheel covers" on page 8-19.
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store
the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi-
ble.
12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the
next gasstation. The correct tyre pres-
sures are shown on the driver's door la-
bel. See the illustration.
