Owner's manual says 150. Chart shows 9/16 at 150; 14mm is very close to 9/16. Makes me nervous, despite all that.
Well there have been some infamous torque spec typos in the shop manuals over the years. Not too often, but it happens. I don't think that's the case here though.
If they are using metric fasteners they should be using Newton/Meters
Nah don't sweat it. Remember they are using real stout stuff for the wheel lugs. They need a high torque value to get them to stretch, and achieve the correct clamping force. If they say 150 ft/lbs I'd believe them.
Brother Daryl wants to know if the pressure sensors know where they are when you rotate them? He told me he read that they do. He's gonna rotate them after his nap.
If they get confused, there is a procedure outlined in the owner's manual where you do some fancy key work, lower the pressure in the LF tire until it honks, then go to RF, RR, LR.
Others have reported that the system figures it out by itself.
Can't say as the dealer as (supposedly) handled my tire rotations. When I did pick up a screw in one tire (GREAT! a damaged tire at 10,000 miles, now I gotta live with a patch.....) Anyway, it did show the correct tire with low pressure.
