When the vehicle is new, check the wheel nut tightness on all wheels with a torque wrench after your first 100 miles (160 km) and then 1,000 miles (1 600 km) after that. Whenever a wheel, wheel bolt or wheel nut is removed or serviced, repeat the 100 miles (160 km), and then 1,000 mile (1 600 km) wheel nut tightness check.

See Tightening the Wheel Nuts for wheel nut tightening information and proper torque values.

Caution: If you operate your vehicle with a tire that is badly underinflated, the tire can overheat. An overheated tire can lose air suddenly or catch fire. You or others could be injured. Be sure all tires (including the spare, if any) are properly inflated.

See Tires and Inflation - Tire Pressure for more information on proper tire inflation.
