mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.

WARNING

Make sure the mounting surfaces of
the wheel, hub and lug nuts are clean
before changing or replacing tires:

When changing or replacing a tire,
not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub
and hub bolts is dangerous. The lug
nuts could loosen while driving and
cause the tire to come off, resulting in
an accident.

2. Mount the spare tire.

3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled

edge inward; tighten them by hand.

WARNING

Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts
and bolts and do not tighten the lug
nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:

Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and
bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and cause
the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and
bolts could be damaged if tightened
