NOTE
l Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel spare wheel as shown in the illustration,
but return to the original wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
l
If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.
CAUTION
l
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in the il-
lustration until each nut has been tightened
to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque
88 to 108 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 350 to
420 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench sup-
plied with the vehicle.)
OG4E12E1
For emergencies
CAUTION
l
Never use your foot or a pipe extension
for extra force in the wheel nut wrench.
If you do so, you will tighten the nut too
much.
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
11. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the next
gasstation. The correct pressures are shown
on the door label. See the illustration.
CAUTION
l The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
l The compact spare tyre is to be used only
temporarily when the standard tyre is
damaged. Repair the damaged tyre as
soon as possible and use it to replace the
compact spare tyre.
