Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite
wheel bolts 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 bolt. Tighten each bolt a little at a time in the
diagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until all the
bolts 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 bolts 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 bolts 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 bolts 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 bolts are still tight after driving
about 1,000 km (Torque 120 Nm).
Put the wheel cap (if equipped) 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 reinstal 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 instal it as soon as possible.
