Using the wheel
wrench, tighten the
wheel nuts firmly in
a crisscross sequence
as
shown.
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become loose
and even come
off.
This could lead to an accident.
Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts.
If
you have
to replace them, be sure to get new
GM
original
equipment wheel nuts.
Stop somewhere
as
soon
as
you can and have the
nuts tightened with
a
torque wrench to
100
Ib-ft
(140
N-m).
NOTICE:
Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage.
To
avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification.

with a regular tire.
