After your rst trip, check the wheel lug torque periodically for safety according to your
Chassis Guide. If you suspect the wheel lug nuts have loosened at any time, have them
checked and torqued to the proper limits immediately.
Lugs should be checked:
After winter storage
After a wheel removal
Before starting a trip
Following extensive braking.
Refer to the Chassis Guide for torque guidelines.
If you suspect or notice the wheel stud bolts are cracked or broken, they must be replaced,
along with adjacent bolts that have probably also been weakened due to the additional stress
placed on them.
Clean the aluminum wheels with a cleaner that is designed for use on aluminum and apply
an appropriate protection agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Wheels exposed to sea water
or road chemicals should be cleaned as soon as possible. Be sure to use a sponge or chamois
leather (brushes may damage the aluminum wheel surface).
