7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand to
initially tighten them.
[Type 1: On vehicles with steel wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the tapered parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the seats of
the wheel holes and the wheel is not
loose.
[Type 2: On vehicles with aluminium
wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flange parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in the
illustration until each nut has been tight-
ened to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque 88 to 108 N•m
10. On vehicles with wheel covers, install the
covers (refer to “Wheel covers” on page
9-18).
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store the
jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi-
ble.
CAUTION
 Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
Type 1
Type 2
NOTE
 On vehicles with aluminium wheels, if all 4
aluminium wheels are changed to steel
wheels. e. g. when fitting winter tyres, use
tapered nuts.
CAUTION
 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.
