13. Once the wheel lug nuts have
been tightened, lower the vehicle
fully to the ground and continue to
tighten the lug nuts until they are
fully secured. Tighten the wheel
lug nuts firmly in a “star” pattern.
If you are unsure of the tightness
of the wheel lug nuts, have them
checked at the nearest service
station. The specified tightening
torque is 65-79 lb ft (9~11 kgm,
88-107 N m). Improperly tight-
ened wheel lug nuts could cause
brake pedal vibration while brak-
ing. 14. Reinstall the wheel cover by fit-
ting the boss of the wheel cover
in the groove of the wheel.
To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut, wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
