WARNING
l
Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (I) facing outboard. 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 vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident.
7. Finger-tighten the wheel nuts.
• Normal
wheels and aluminium spare
wheel
Tighten the wheel nuts until the flang-
es
of the wheel nuts touch the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
• Steel spare wheel
Tighten
the wheel nuts until the ta-
pered parts of the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the
wheel holes and the wheel is not loose.
CAUTION
l
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 spare wheel, but return to the original
wheel and tyre as soon as possible.
l
If all four aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten
the nuts in the order shown in the il-
lustration until each nut has been tightened
to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque
88 to 108 Nm
