CAUTION:
l The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a\
spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously d\
amage your car's transmission.
l Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bol\
ts should never be greased
or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with s\
teel rims, as they make it
impossible to fit the hub caps.

el with the guide stud on the

ghten crosswise (see illustration
