What to do in an emergency
11. Reinstall wheel nuts
To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the
studs, put the wheel nuts on the
studs and tighten them finger tight.
Jiggle the tire to be sure it is com-
pletely seated, then tighten the nuts
as much as possible with your fin-
gers again.
Wheel and wheel covers may
have sharp edges. Handle them
carefully to avoid possible
severe injury.
Before putting the wheel into
place, be sure that there is noth-
ing on the hub or wheel (such
as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that
interferes with the wheel from
fitting solidly against the hub. If
there is, remove it. If there is not
good contact on the mounting
surface between the wheel and
hub, the wheel nuts could
loosen and cause the loss of a
wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the
vehicle. This may cause serious
injury or death.
WARNING

Note that the wheel nuts "R"
mark on the right tires are right-
hand screw and those "L" mark
on the left tires are left-hand
screw, as viewed to the front of
vehicle. To tighten the nuts, turn
clockwise for the right-hand
side and counterclockwise for
the left-hand side.
