Wheel Stud / Lug Nut

Wheel Stud / Lug Nut

Install the 5 wheel nuts by hand.
Tighten the wheel nuts in a star/cross pattern to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).


WARNING: Retighten wheel nuts within 160 km (100 mi) after a wheel is reinstalled. Wheels can loosen after initial tightening. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Failure to tighten the wheel nuts in a star/cross pattern can result in high brake disc runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness, shudder and vibration.
NOTE: The wheel nut torque specification is for clean, dry wheel stud and wheel nut threads.
