Use dealer-recommended M12 x 1.5 nuts. Remove dirt or oil. Remove corrosion or loose particles from the mounting surface. Cone end toward the wheel.
Do not finish the torque on the jack. After it is lowered, tighten in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened twice, to 100 ft-lbs (135 N·m), with a calibrated torque wrench and a 19 mm six-sided deep socket.
Confirm the nuts are seated against the wheel.
Cold inflation is the placard, not this torque. See the tire pressure guide.
The torque-pattern figure is in the manual. The text already says star pattern, so the figure is not redrawn here.
