CAUTION
Incorrect wheel nuts or
improperly tightened wheel
nuts can cause the wheel to
become loose and even come
off. This could lead to an
accident. Be sure to use the
correct wheel nuts. If you have
to replace them, be sure to get
the right kind. Stop somewhere
as soon as you can and have the
nuts tightened with a torque
wrench to the proper torque.
See "Specifications and
Capacities" in Section 4 for the
proper wheel nut torque.
NOTICE
Improperly tightened wheel
nuts can lead to brake pulsation
and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly
tighten the wheel nuts in the
proper sequence and to the
proper torque specification.
After installing the spare tire on
your vehicle, stop as soon as
possible to make sure the tire is
correctly inflated.
