WARNING
Improperly mounting and demounting
tire and rim assemblies is dangerous.
Failure to observe proper precautions
could cause the tire rim assembly to
burst explosively, causing death or
personal injury. See the wheel manu-
facturer's literature for the proper way
to mount and demount your tires and
rims. Follow their precautions exactly.
WARNING
Always ensure the hood hold open
latch is engaged to keep the hood fully
open any time anyone gets under the
hood for any reason. Failure to do so
may cause the hood to close uncon-
trollably which may result in death or
personal injury.
WARNING
Always support the vehicle with appro-
priate safety stands if it is necessary to
work underneath the vehicle. A jack is
not adequate for this purpose. Failure
to comply may result in death, person-
al injury, equipment or property dam-
age.
Disc Wheels
WARNING
Use the correct components and tools
when working on wheels. Grooves in
the wheel disc or other damage to the
disc can weaken the wheel and cause
it to eventually come off. This could
cause you to lose control of your vehi-
cle, and may result in an accident.
Failure to comply may result in proper-
ty damage, personal injury, or death.
The end of the wheel wrench must be
smooth. Burrs on the end of the wrench
can tear grooves in the disc. These
grooves may lead to cracks in the disc, and
can cause it to fail.
Wheel Bearings
Service the bearings, seals and oil. This
interval may be different depending on the
results of the regular inspection. 350,000
mi (560,000 km). For safe, reliable
operation and adequate service life, your
wheel bearings must be adjusted properly
at the recommended intervals. Contact
your authorized dealer to make sure the
wheel bearings are properly adjusted.
