7. Turn the wheel nut 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 until the tire
touches the ground, by rotating the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise.
NOTE
Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
compact spare wheel as shown in the illustra-
tion, but return to the original wheel and tire
as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
NOTE
If all 4 aluminum wheels are changed to steel
wheels, use tapered nuts.
