[On vehicles with aluminium wheels]
• Normal wheel
For the normal tyres, initially tighten the wheel nuts
until the wheel nut flange area (C) touches the wheel
enough to keep the tyre from wobbling.
• Compact spare wheel
For compact spare wheels, initially tighten the wheel
nuts until the tapered area (A) of the nuts lightly touches
the wheel hole seat area (B) enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling.
OTE
● Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the steel wheel,
but return to the original wheel and tyre as soon as possi-
ble.
● If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to steel wheels. e.
g. when fitting winter tyres, use taperd nuts.
CAUTION
!
● Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or the nuts
or they will tighten too much.
