Cadillac 2007 Automobile User Manual


 
{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel
to come loose and even come off. This
could lead to an accident. Be sure to use
the correct wheel nuts. If you have to
replace them, be sure to get new GM
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 512
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 512
for the wheel nut torque specification.
11. Tighten the
nuts firmly in a
crisscross sequence
as shown by
turning the wheel
wrench clockwise.
When you reinstall the regular wheel and tire,
you must also reinstall the bolt-on hub cap.
Align the plastic nut caps with the wheel nuts
and then tighten by hand. Then use the wheel
wrench to tighten.
