Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts 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 nuts 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 nuts 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 nuts are still tight after driving about 1,000 kms (Torque 120
Nm).
Put the wheel cap 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 reinstall 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 install it as soon as possible.
2.7.2 Restore the Tools, Jack and Flat Tyre Securely
Restore the tools and jack back to their respective locations. Align the spare wheel
bracket to the centre hub of the wheel. Winch up the flat tyre to the floor at the rear
of the vehicle. Firmly tighten the securing nut and put the floor carpet back. Double
check to ensure the tyre is snug against the rear floor of the vehicle. The spare
wheel bracket/cable may be damaged if the vehicle is driven with the spare wheel
loosely mounted.
