repeated brake applications with the engine off), the
brakes will still function. However, the effort required
to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that
required with the power system operating.

WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Vehicle Identification Number
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure
that the wheel is properly mounted to the vehicle. Any
time a wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a
properly calibrated torque wrench using a high quality
six sided (hex) deep wall socket.
NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.

Wheel Mounting Surface
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake
systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems lose
normal capability, the remaining system will still
function. However, there will be some loss of overall
braking effectiveness. You may notice increased pedal
travel during application, greater pedal force required
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in the following pattern until
each nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
