Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead
to over tightening of the nuts, wheel nut spanner slip, damage
the bolts and also may cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may
loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious
accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean before
installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite
wheel nuts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle
extension counter clockwise using the jack handle to lower the
vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack
handle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely
engaged over the nut. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the
diagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until all the
nuts are tight. Do not use other tools or any additional leverage
other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The
wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of
vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure
all the wheel nuts are properly/securely tightened to the
specified torque.
When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body
are clear off the vehicle as it is lowered to the ground. Have the
wheel nuts tightened with the torque spanner to 120 Nm, as
soon as possible after changing wheels.
If you have rotated, repaired, changed your tyres or changed
the wheel rims, check the wheel nuts are still tight after driving
about 1,000 kms (Torque 120 Nm).
Put the wheel cap into position aligning the nozzle on the wheel to
the nozzle clearance on the wheel cover. Tap it firmly on the sides
with your hand to snap it into place.
Check the air pressure of the replaced tyre. If the pressure is lower
than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and
inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or adjusting
tyre pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as possible.
