Item 2: Wheel Nuts Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    WARNING: Retighten at 800 km (500 miles) after any wheel change or any time the wheel nuts are loosened. Failure to retighten the wheel nuts at the mileage specified could allow the wheels to come off while the vehicle is in motion, possibly causing loss of control.
    CAUTION: Failure to tighten the wheel nuts in a star pattern can result in high brake disc runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness, shudder and vibration.
