11. Check the air pressure of the re-placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designated on page 272 in Section 8. If
the pressure is lower, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and fill to the cor-
rect pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
valve cap as dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque
specified on page 272 in Section 8 with
a torque wrench. Have a technician repair
the flat tire.
