WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important
to ensure that the wheel is properly mounted
to the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been
removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a
properly calibrated torque wrench using a
high quality six sided (hex) deep wall socket.
Torque Specifications
**Use only authorized dealer recommended
lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove any dirt or
oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion
or loose particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern
until each nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
Ensure that the socket is fully engaged on
the lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).Torque Pattern
After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/
bolt torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/
bolts are properly seated against the wheel.
WHEELS
Refer to the tire placard label located on the
door sill of the vehicle or to the Registration
Document for the tire size and pressure.
Refer to “Tires” in the “Servicing and main -
