Installing a Road Wheel
WARNING: Make sure all
passengers are out of your vehicle.
WARNING: When you install a
wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt
or foreign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel or the
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make
sure to secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to
come off while your vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
WARNING: Make sure that the
vehicle jack is vertical to the jacking point
and the base is flat on the ground.
WARNING: Secure the diagonally
opposite wheel with an appropriate
block or wheel chock.
1
WARNING: Make sure there is no
grease or oil on the threads or the
surface between the wheel lugs and
nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to
loosen while driving.
WARNING: Use only approved
wheel and tire sizes. Using other sizes
could damage your vehicle and will make
the National Type Approval invalid.

WARNING: Do not fit run flat tires
on vehicles that were not originally fitted
with them. Contact an authorized dealer
for more details about compatibility.

WARNING: Have the lug nuts
checked for tightness and the tire
pressure checked as soon as possible.
3. Raise your vehicle until the tire is clear
of the ground.
4. Remove the lug nuts and the wheel.
Note: Do not lay alloy wheels face down
on the ground. This may damage the paint.
