Chevrolet 2008 Model Vehicle User Manual


 
{ CAUTION:
Incorrect or improperly tightened wheel nuts
can cause the wheel to come loose and even
come off. This could lead to a crash. If you have
to replace them, be sure to get new original
equipment wheel nuts. Stop somewhere as
soon as you can and have the nuts tightened
with a torque wrench to the proper torque
specification. See Capacities and Specifications
on page 5-108 for wheel nut torque
specification.
Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can
lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper torque
specification. See Capacities and Specifications on
page 5-108 for the wheel nut torque specification.
14. Tighten the wheel nuts
firmly in a crisscross
sequence, as shown,
with the wheel wrench.
Notice: Wheel covers will not fit on your vehicle’s
compact spare. If you try to put a wheel cover on
the compact spare, the cover or the spare could be
damaged.
Do not try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare
tire. It will not fit. Store the wheel cover and wheel nut
caps in the trunk until you have the flat tire repaired or
replaced.
