Problems on the Road
. . . 488
CAUTION
Incorrect wheel nuts or improp-
erly tightened wheel nuts can
cause the wheel to become
loose and even come off. This
could lead to an accident.
If you have to replace them, be
sure to get original equipment
wheel nuts. Stop somewhere as
soon as you can and have the
nuts tightened with a torque
wrench to the proper torque.
See "Specifications and Capaci-
ties" 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.
14. Store all the equipment in the
proper storage area.
See "Storing Tire and Jacking
Equipment" later in this sec-
tion for more information.
CAUTION
Storing a jack, a tire or other
equipment in the passenger's
compartment of the vehicle
could cause injury. In a sudden
stop or collision, loose equip-
ment could strike someone.
Store all these in the proper
place.
After installing the spare tire on
your vehicle, stop as soon as possi-
ble to make sure the tire is correct-
ly inflated.
Of course it is best to replace your
compact spare with a full-size tire
as soon as you can. Your spare will
last longer and be in good shape in
case you need to use it again.
See "Compact Spare Tire" later in
this section for more information.
