Caution
a) Do not use more than two balance weights
on the inner or outer side of the wheel, if
the total weight exceeds 100 g (3.5 oz), re-
balance after moving the tire around on the
rim.
b) Attach the balance weights tightly so that
they do not protrude more than 3 mm (0.12
in) beyond the wheel edge.
c) Select suitable balance weights for steel or
aluminum alloy wheels.
d)Do not use an on-car balancer on ATX
models. Use of this type of balancer may
cause clutch damage.
WHEEL MOUNTING
Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque in a criss-
cross fashion.
Tightening torque:
88—118 N-m (9—12 m-kg, 65—87 ft-lb)
Caution
a) The wheel-to-hub contact surfaces must be
clean.
b) Never apply oil to the nuts, bolts, or wheels;
doing so might cause looseness or seizure
of the lug nuts.

SPECIAL NOTE
Regarding wheels and tires:
1. Do not use wheels or tires other than the specified types.
2. Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. When washing them, use a soft cloth, never a wire brush.
If the vehicle is steam cleaned, do not allow boiling water to contact the wheels.
3. If alkaline compounds (such as salt water or road salts), get on aluminum wheels, wash them as
soon as possible to prevent damage. Use only a neutral detergent.
