WARNING
l
Be sure to position the tyres the correct
way when putting them on the vehicle.
The valves should be on the outer side of
the vehicle. If the valve (I) cannot be seen,
the tyre has been mounted the wrong way
around.
If tyres are mounted the wrong way
around it could have a negative effect on
the vehicle and cause an accident.

itially tighten them.
[Vehicle with the tapered nuts]
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until the ta-
pered part (A) of the nuts lightly touches the
wheel hole seats (B) enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling.
[Vehicle with the flange nuts]
l
Aluminium wheel
Initially
tighten the wheel nuts until the
wheel nut flange area (C) touches the
wheel enough to keep the tyre from wob-
bling.

tighten the wheel nuts until the ta-
pered area (A) of the nuts lightly touches
the wheel hole seat area (B) enough to
keep the tyre from wobbling.

CAUTION
• Never
apply oil to either the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE
l
Flange
nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
l
If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.
