8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten Nuts
Lower the car to the ground turning the wheel nut
wrench counterclockwise. When the vehicle is
firmly on the ground, remove the jack and tighten
the wheel nuts securely. At the first available
opportunity, the wheel nut torque should be
checked with a suitable torque wrench.

AFTER CHANGING WHEELS
The pressure of the spare tyre should be checked
at the first available opportunity. If any doubt
exists as to the tyre pressure, the vehicle should
be driven slowly to the nearest service station
and the tyre pressure checked and adjusted as
required.
If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves, a
replacement should be obtained and fitted at the
first available opportunity. The valve cap pre-
vents the ingress of dirt which may cause the
valve to stick and therefore leak and is part of the
valve sealing function.
Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and wheel nut
wrench as well tools are correctly located in the
boot of the vehicle to prevent damage and noise.
