leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a
serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.

Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheel may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death
or serious injury.

use with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire on another
vehicle.

ble.

cornering.

to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or seri-
ous injury.
