11.20.10.4. Installing tyre

imageimage
  • Never use wheel nuts which are not provided with your vehicle. Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts may cause the wheel to become loose or come off. This could cause an accident.

  • Never use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts. This may cause the wheel nuts to become loose.

  1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between the wheel and hub.

  2. Carefully put the tyre on and tighten the wheel nuts with your fingers. Check that all the wheel nuts contact the wheel surface horizontally.

  3. Tighten the wheel nuts alternately and evenly, more than 2 times in the sequence illustrated ((1) - (5)), with the wheel nut wrench, until they are tight.

  4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tyre touches the ground.

  5. Tighten the wheel nuts securely, with the wheel nut wrench, in the sequence illustrated.

  6. Lower the vehicle completely.

Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque with a torque wrench as soon as possible.

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to specification at all times. It is recommended that the wheel nuts be tightened to specification at each lubrication interval.

  • After adjusting the tyre pressure, the TPMS must be reset. (See

    for details about the resetting procedure.)
  • After adjusting tyre pressure to the COLD tyre pressure, the display of the tyre pressures may show higher pressure than the COLD tyre pressure after the vehicle has been driven more than 1.6 km (1 mile). This is because the tyre pressurises as tyre temperature rises. This does not indicate a system malfunction.
