Warning
After changing a wheel, for safety reasons you
must:
have the tightening torque checked. For
R
wheel bolts, the tightening torque is
177 lb-ft (240 Nm) (steel wheel)/133 lb-ft
(180 Nm) (alloy wheel). For wheel nuts, the
tightening torque is 133 lb-ft (180 Nm). The
wheels could otherwise work loose.

Notes on changing bulbs
The bulbs and lamps are an essential
component of vehicle safety. Therefore, make
sure that each bulb is always working.
G
Warning
Bulbs and lamps can become very hot. For
this reason, allow them to cool down before
changing them. Otherwise, you could burn
yourself when you touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Otherwise, they could, for example, damage
the bulbs and injure themselves.
Never use a bulb which has been dropped.
Such a bulb may explode and injure you.
Halogen bulbs are pressurized and could
explode when you change them, especially if
they are very hot. You should therefore wear
eye protection and gloves when you are
changing them.
G
Warning
Xenon bulbs are under high voltage. You could
get an electric shock and be seriously or even
fatally injured if you touch the electric
contacts on Xenon bulbs. Therefore, do not
remove the cover on Xenon bulbs.
