14.9 Checking for Tread Depth
Maintain re tread depth at 1/8” (0.125” or 3 mm) or more. Tires that have worn to less than 1/8”
(3 mm) should be replaced as soon as possible. Worn res are more likely to skid, reducing
effecve stopping distance. Also, worn res hydroplane and slide on wet pavement more than
res with sufficient tread depth.
14.10 Tread Wear Indicator Bar
Tread wear indicator bars are molded into the surface of the re for the purpose of indicang
replacement due to wear. These bars are typically molded to a depth of 2/32”, which means that
if the wear has reached the indicator bars, the res are too worn and must be replaced.

14.11 Wheel Nut Torque: 83 lbf- or 113 N-m
Inspect the wheel nuts occasionally for ghtness, and if they have been loosened for
maintenance service. Do not lubricate the stud or the lug nut. Clean dirty or rusted threads
before ghtening.
Use a properly calibrated torque wrench to prevent over- or under-ghtening.
It is good pracce to ghten nuts in two increments, first to half-torque-level, about 40 lbf- or
54 N-m, then to the final torque of 83 lbf- or 113 N-m.

14.12.1 Jack Points
• Always set the park brake and chock the wheels. Use a proper jack, along with
automove jack stands if needed for the work.
• The jack points under the front end of the vehicle are along the subframe near the lower
control arm aachment point, just behind the front wheels.
