Dodge 2007 Sprinter Owner's Manual page 326

For wheels with wheel bolts attach the
wheel cover.
Vehicles with wheel caps:
Make sure that the opening in the
wheel cap is positioned over the tire
vent.
Vehicles with center caps:
Make sure that the retaining lugs of the
hub cap are positioned over the bolts.
i
Give the middle of the center cap a
knock to engage it on the wheel.
Compress the piston of the hydraulic
jack and close the pressure release
screw.
Store the jack and the remaining vehi-
cle tools.
Place the defective wheel in the spare
wheel bracket after changing the wheel
( page 301).
Check the tire pressure ( page 210).
Retighten the wheel bolts and wheel
nuts to the specified tightening torque
once the vehicle has been driven for 30
miles (50 km).
Warning
For safety reasons, you must observe the
following after changing a wheel:
Have the tightening torque checked:
for wheel bolts 177 lb-ft (240 Nm)
(steel wheel)/133 lb-ft (180 Nm)
(light-alloy wheel) or
for wheel nuts
133 lb-ft (180 Nm).
The wheels could otherwise come loose.
Check the tire pressure and correct it if
necessary
Have the wheel bolts or wheel nuts re-
tightened after 30 miles (50 km) to a
torque of:
177 lb-ft (240 Nm) (steel wheel)/
133 lb-ft (180 Nm) (light-alloy
wheel) for wheel bolts or
133 lb-ft (180 Nm) for wheel nuts.
G Have the direction of tire rotation cor-
rected, if reversed, as soon as possible
at an authorized Sprinter Dealer. The ve-
hicle handling characteristics could oth-
erwise be affected.
Warning
Loose wheel nuts or bolts could cause the
vehicle to lose a wheel while it is in motion.
This would jeopardize the operating and
road safety of the vehicle. You could lose
control of the vehicle as a result, cause an
accident and injure yourself or others.
If new or repainted wheels are mounted, the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts must be retight-
ened again after approximately 600 to 3000
miles (about 1000 to 5000 km).
