Do not use other tools or any additional leverage other
than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Make sure the wrench is securely engaged over the
nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown.
Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight.

Put the wheel ornament into position and then tap it
firmly with the side or heel of your hand to snap it
into place.
CAUTION
Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid
unexpected personal injury.
11. After changing the wheel, check the air
pressure of the replaced tire. Stow all the tools,
jack and flat tire securely.
If the pressure of the replaced tire is low, drive slowly
to the nearest service station and fill to the correct
pressure.Do not forget to reinstall the tire valve cap as dirt and
moisture could get into the valve core and possible
cause air leakage. If the cap is missing, put a new
one on as soon as possible.
This is the same procedure for changing or rotating
your tires.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the tools, jack and
flat tire are securely in place in their storage

roads
for a short distance and at low speeds. Also, the wheels,
axles, drive train, steering and brakes must all be in good
condition.

sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would
place excessive stress on the emergency towing eyelet

or chain may break and cause serious injury or damage.

the parking brake and put the transmission in Nº. The ignition
key must be in ACCº (engine off) or ONº (engine running).CAUTION

broken or damaged and that the installation bolts are not
loose.
