Road Tire Installation

2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end
of the
nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack
handle

4. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench
while

Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been

“Torque Specifications” inTechnical Specifications”. If in
doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with
a torque wrench by an authorized dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles
(40 km), check the lug nut torque with a
torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are properly
seated against the wheel.
