NOTICE:
Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification.
When you reinstall the full-size wheel and tire, you
must also reinstall the wheel cover with attached plastic
nuts, the plastic nut caps or the smooth center cap.
If you are reinstalling a wheel cover with
attached plastic nuts, place it on the wheel and
tighten the nuts by hand to get them started.
Then tighten the nut caps with the wheel wrench
until they are snug. Do not overtighten the nut
caps or they may break.
If you are reinstalling plastic nut caps, tighten the
nuts by hand to get them started. Then tighten the
nut caps with the wheel wrench until they are
snug. Do not overtighten the nut caps or they
may break.
If you are reinstalling the smooth center cap,
place it on the wheel and tap it into place until it
seats flush with the wheel.
7-22 Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Replace any components that have high effort
or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and
cruise control cables.
Transfer Case and Front Axle
(Four-Wheel Drive) Inspection
Every 12 months or at engine oil change intervals, check
front axle and transfer case and add lubricant when
necessary. A fluid loss could indicate a problem;
check and have it repaired, if needed. Check vent hose
at transfer case for kinks and proper installation. More
frequent lubrication may be required on off
-road use.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook
-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and
rotors for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts,
including calipers, parking brake, etc. You may need to
have your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
