RUBBER PARTS AND TUBING

2. When cleaning the vehicle with steam, do not directly steam onto the aluminum wheels.
- Clean the hub surface.
- After finger tightening the wheel nuts, tighten them to specifications.
- Do not use an impact wrench or push on the wrench with your foot to tighten the wheel nuts.
- Do not apply oil to the threaded portions.
