Tighten the wheel nuts until the flanges
of the wheel nuts touch the wheel and the

Steel spare wheel
Tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered
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 4 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
OG1E12E1
For emergencies
(Achieved by applying a force of 350 to
420 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench sup-
plied with the vehicle.)
CAUTION
l
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.
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
11. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the next
gasstation. The correct pressures are shown
on the door label. See the illustration.
