Lug nut tightening sequence
[RE09900(ALL)04/95]
The lug nuts should be tightened to 72Ð87 ft-lb (98Ð118 N%m).
[RE10000(ALL)12/93]
RWARNING
Using wheels or lug nuts different than the original
equipment could damage the wheel or mounting system.
This damage could allow the wheels to come off while
the vehicle is being driven. If a wheel comes off while
the vehicle is in motion, it could cause loss of vehicle
control and may result in collision.
*
[RE10100(ALL)01/93]13.
Replace the wheel cover by pressing it into place. If you
have the standard wheel covers, you must align the notch in
the wheel cover with the tire's valve stem and align the
recess in the back of the wheel cover with one of the lug
nuts. If you have the optional aluminum wheel, press the
center wheel cap into place after matching up the design of
the wheel cap to the wheel.
[RE10200(ALL)01/93]14.
Make sure the jack is securely fastened. When you replace
the jack in the jack storage compartment, place the base
against the square-shaped fastening bracket and open the
jack slightly so that the jack is snug against the fastening
brackets.
