7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand to
initially tighten them.
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flange parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
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
illustration until each nut has been tight-
ened to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque 88 to 108 N•m
10. Lower and remove the jack, then store the
jack, used tyre, and chocks.
11. Check your tyre inflation pressure using
the tyre compressor, or check it at the next
gas station. (Refer to “Tyre repair kit” on
page 8-7.)
The correct tyre pressures are shown on
the driver’s door label. See the illustra-
tion.
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle approximately 1000 km, retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not
come loose.
