Steel wheels: Full size wheel covers have a
valve symbol on the rear of the cover to align
with the valve.
Line the hole for the valve with the valve and press on the wheel trim.
Alloy wheels: Install the individual wheel stud caps and press on the centre cap.
When replacing the centre cap, align the pin on the back of the cap with the
corresponding hole in the wheel and push the centre cap firmly into place.

WARNING:
As soon as possible after changing a wheel, you should have the wheel
bolts tightened with a torque wrench to 110 Newton metres and have the
new wheel balanced on the vehicle.
Wheel bolts should be tightened evenly to the correct torque in a crisscross
pattern. Wheel bolts which have not been tightened properly could
eventually allow the wheel to come off while the vehicle is moving.
