If your spare wheel does not match your
other wheels, you may want to use this
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the
front and rear inflation pressure as

A
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on
the parts
to
which it
is
fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause an
accident. When you change a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt
from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use
a
cloth or
paper towel to
do
this; but be sure
to use a scraper or wire brush
later,
if
you need to, to get all the
rust or dirt
off.
(See “Changing a
Flat Tire” in the Index.)
