180°F to 200°F (82°C to 93OC).
To check transmission fluid hot: Get the vehicle warmed up by driving
about
15 miles (24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
A CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened,
can make wheel nuts become loose after a time. The wheel could
come
off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel,
remove any rust
or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, you can use
a cloth or a paper towel
to do this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if you
need to, to get all the rust
or dirt off. (See “Changing a Flat Tire”
in the Index.)
