{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 5-121 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 5-121 for the wheel nut torque specification. 13. Tighten the wheel nuts firmly in a crisscross sequence. Notice: Wheel covers will not fit on your compact spare. If you try to put a wheel cover on the compact spare, you could damage the cover or the spare. 14. Do not try to put the wheel cover on the compact spare tire. It will not fit. Store the wheel cover in the trunk until you have replaced the compact spare tire with a regular tire. When you reinstall the full size wheel and tire, you install the wheel cover or nut caps at this point. When reinstalling the nut caps on aluminum wheels, tighten the caps snug with the wheel wrench. Then continue tightening one-quarter turn for plastic caps, or one-eighth turn for steel caps. Do not overtighten. 5-99
