326 Vehicle Care
{Warning
If you find any abnormal
conditions with the wheel nuts
such as frequent loosening of
retightened nuts, have your
vehicle checked or serviced at the
nearest dealer as soon as
possible.
Fully engage the wheel wrench on a
wheel nut in order to tighten the nut
to the specified torque. However, do
not use a pipe as a handle
extension or your foot to apply force
on the wrench. This would tighten
the nut more than required and
might damage components.
Both under-tightening and
over-tightening of wheel nuts may
cause broken wheel studs or
cracked disc wheels and could lead
to wheel detachment. Adhere to the
specified tightening torques.
When replacing a tire with a new
one, use only a tire of the same
type and size as the replaced tire;
otherwise, driving safety could be affected. Avoid mixed use of
different types or different size tires
at all costs.
If a Tire Goes Flat
When the tire goes flat while driving,
ease off the accelerator pedal, avoid
hard braking, hold on to the steering
wheel firmly, and stop the vehicle.
The tire should be changed in a
safe, open location to prevent
obstructing other vehicles or
pedestrians.
{Warning
If you continue to drive on a flat
tire, undue force will be applied to
the wheel studs, possibly causing
the studs to break and the wheel
to come off. You and others could
be seriously injured.
See “Tire Replacement
Recommendations” underWheels
and Tires 0308.
