7. [Vehicle with the tapered nuts]
Install the wheel nuts with their tapered
ends facing inward, then tighten by hand
until the wheel is no longer loose.
[Vehicle with the flange nuts]
• Aluminium wheel
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts until
their flange section comes in contact
with the wheel and it is no longer loose.
• Steel wheel
Install the wheel nuts with their tapered
ends facing inward, then tighten by hand
until the wheel is no longer loose.
Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem
(I) facing outward. If you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you have installed the
wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel
installed backwards can cause vehicle
damage and result in an accident.
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
compact spare or steel wheel, but return
them to the original wheel and tire as soon as
possible.
If all 4 wheels are changed to steel wheels,
use tapered nuts.
