Use this pattern when rotating
the vehicle tires. Do not include
the compact spare tire in the

{CAUTION
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on

fastened, can make wheel
bolts become loose after time.

CAUTION (Continued)
The wheel could come off and
cause a crash. When you
change a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where
the wheel attaches to the
vehicle using a scraper or
wire brush.
Installing wheels with a good
metal-to-metal contact at
the mounting surfaces is
necessary to prevent wheel
bolts from becoming loose.
To prevent corrosion or
rust build-up, lightly coat the
wheel hub center and the
cone-shaped surface of each
wheel bolt with wheel bearing
grease, after a wheel change.SeeChanging a Flat Tire on
page 9-61for information
