12.7 Wheels - Removal
Before lifting the car, fit the spanner over each nut and carefully loosen in turn. Jack up the car (see jacking). Be
sure the car is on level ground and the handbrake is applied. Remove the nuts completely and then the wheel.
To refit, apply a light coat of grease to the wheel studs, fit the wheel carefully over the studs and tighten the nuts
in a diagonal pattern. Do up the nuts as tight as possible with the standard spanner. Lower the car from the jack.
When the car is on the ground check that the nuts are tightened to 60 lb/ft (82 Nm).
Notice
Re check the wheel after the car has been driven.
12.8 Steps for Determining the Correct Load Limit
1 - Locate the statement “The Combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 1300kg or
2866lbs” on you vehicles placard.
2 - Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in the vehicle.
3 - Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passenger from the 1300kg or 2866lbs.
4 - The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the
"2866" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5 - Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6 - If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle."
