Retightening Wheel Nuts (ISO 10-bolt Wheels)
Check the wheel nuts to make sure they are tightened to the specific torque by using a
torque wrench.
Use the following methods to check loose wheel nuts. The tightening torque of the
wheel nuts may decrease after a tire change or rotation due to their initial settlement.
After driving 50 to 100 km (31 to 62 miles), be sure to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque.

WARNING
• If you find any abnormal conditions with the wheel nuts such as frequent
loosening of retightened nuts, have your vehicle checked or serviced at the
nearest Isuzu Dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
• Fully engage the wheel nut wrench on a wheel nut in order to tighten the nut to
the specified torque. However, do not use a pipe as a handle extension or your
foot to apply force on the wrench. This would tighten the nut more than required
and might damage components.
• Both under-tightening and over-tightening wheel nuts may cause broken wheel
bolts or cracked disc wheels and could lead to wheel detachment. Adhere to the
specified tightening torques.
• When replacing a tyre with a new one, use only a tyre of the same type and size
as the replaced tyre; otherwise, driving safety could be affected. Avoid mixed
use of different types or different size tyres at all costs.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Tighten the wheel nuts in a diagonal
sequence to the specified torque.
