CAUTION

wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.

lustration until each nut has been tightened
to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque

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.
CAUTION
l After changing the tyre and driving the ve-
hicle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retight-
en the wheel nuts to make sure that they
have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driv-
ing after changing the tyre, we recom-
mend you to have the tyres checked for
balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another
or use a different size from the one listed.
This would cause early wear and poor han-
dling.
