With a new vehicle, perform out the first inspection
after 4‚000 km (2‚500 miles).
Using a torque wrench, check for loose wheel nuts
and tighten as necessary.
WARNING
•
As the vehicle is driven after a wheel has
been replaced, the wheel nuts loosen up
somewhat during the early stages of driv-
ing due to “wear-in”. Therefore, it is neces-
sary to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 50 to 100 km
(30 to 60 miles). Thereafter, retighten the
nuts at regular intervals.
•
Do not paint disc wheel mounting surfaces
, dual wheel mating surfaces , wheel
nut seating surfaces , and wheel hub
mounting surfaces as resulting thicker
paint film could cause the wheel nuts to
loosen up.
