WARNING
Do not apply oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts and do not tighten the wheel
nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:
Applying oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The wheel nuts
could loosen while driving and cause
the tyre to come o, resulting in an
accident. In addition, wheel nuts and
bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
4. Turn the wheel brace anticlockwise
and lower the vehicle.
5. Use the wheel brace to tighten the nuts
in the order shown.
If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
