3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with
t
he valve stem on the wheel. Install the
cover by hand, snapping the cover over the
two lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or
excessive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone
s
haped end of the nut toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning
t
he jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
t
he wrench while at the end of the handle for
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts
in a star pattern until each nut has been
ti
ghtened twice. For the correct lug nut
torque, refer to “Wheel And Tire Torque
Specifications” in “Technical Specifications”.
If in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or service station.
7. After 25
miles (40 km), check the lug nut
to rque with a torque wrench to ensure that
all lug nuts are properly seated against the
wheel.
