Wheel Bolt Torque
Fuel Filling
The fuel tank filler neck has a restricted opening which will
only accept the fuel supply nozzle of unleaded fuel pumps.
Caution: You must use an applicable plastic-sleeved
socket to remove, install, and tighten the wheel bolts. This
will help to prevent damage to the surface of the wheel.
Open the fuel flap by pressing down on the rear edge of the fuel
flap. If the filler flap will not open use the fuel filler flap
emergency release.
All wheel bolts must be tightened in two stages:
• Tighten every second wheel bolt (in the order shown) to 70
Nm (52 lb/ft) until all five bolts are tightened.
If a locking wheel bolt is installed, this should be installed last.
The fuel system will not let the fuel tank overfill but there will be
times when the fuel nozzle will shut OFF prematurely. If this
happens only try to fill the fuel tank one more time, continued
attempts will result in fuel spillage. Wait 10 seconds before
removing the refuelling nozzle.
• Tighten every second wheel bolt (in the order shown) to 175
Nm (130 lb/ft) until all five bolts are tightened.
