wheel bolt torque FIAT 500 2013 2.G Owners Manual

WARNING!
To avoid possible personal injury, handle the wheel
covers with care to avoid contact with any sharp
edges.
NOTE:The wheel cover is held on the wheel by the
wheel bolts. When reinstalling the original wheel, prop-
erly align the wheel cover to the valve stem, place the
wheel cover onto the wheel, then install the wheel bolts.
6. Install the spare wheel and wheel bolts with the cone
shaped end of the bolts toward the wheel. Lightly
tighten the bolts. To avoid the risk of forcing the
vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the bolts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the bolts. Push down on the wrench
while tightening the wheel bolts. Alternate bolts until
each bolt has been tightened twice. The correct wheel
bolt torque is 63 ft lbs (85 N·m) for steel wheels and
75 ft lbs (100 N·m) for aluminum wheels. If you doubt
that you have tightened the bolts correctly, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized
studio or service station.
9. Disassemble the jack and tools and place them in the
bag. Stow it under the driver’s seat and secure the bag
to the floor with the straps attached to the floor of the
vehicle.
