Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in
loss of vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure all the wheel nuts are properly/securely
tightened to the specified torque.
When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body are clear off the vehicle as it is lowered to the
ground. Have the wheel nuts tightened with the torque spanner to the required torque, as soon as possible after
changing wheels.
If you have rotated , repaired , changed your tires or changed the wheel rims, check the wheel nuts are still tight (to
the reqd. torque) after driving about 1000 Kms.
Put the wheel cover into position aligning the nozzle on the wheel to the nozzle clearance on the wheel cover. Tap it
firmly on the sides with your hand to snap it into place.
Check the air pressure of the replaced tire. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall the valve
cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and moisture could get into the valve core
and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible.
2.7.2 Restore all the Tools, Jack and Flat Tire Securely
Mount the flat tire to the rear door of the vehicle. Firmly tighten the securing nut and put the spare wheel cover back.
Replace the tools (jack, wheel spanner, etc.,) in their storage location.
Double check to ensure the flat tire along with the wheel cover is securely mounted on the tail gate.
It is recommended to fix the flat tire at the nearest tire shop and swap the spare wheel back. The wheel balance and
alignment differ from wheel to wheel. This may lead to steering and braking issues.
