Owners Manual

X
Tighten all the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
evenly in the sequence indicated using the
extended lug wrench.
!
The tightening torque is:
R
177 lb-ft (240 Nm) (steel wheel) /
133 lb-ft (180 Nm) (light-alloy wheel) for
wheel bolts
R
133 lb-ft (180 Nm) for wheel nuts
You can now mount the hub caps on steel
wheels with wheel bolts. The installing
procedure depends on whether the hub cap
acts as a trim that covers the whole wheel, or
just covers the center.
!
With a hub cap that covers the whole
wheel, make sure the opening for the tire
valve is positioned over the valve.
X
Push the edge of the hub cap with both
hands against the wheel until it clicks into
place.
!
With a hub cap for the middle of the wheel,
make sure that the clamping lugs of the
cover are positioned over the wheel bolts.
X
Hit the middle of the hub cap to engage it
on the wheel.
X
Push the piston on the hydraulic jack in
again and close the pressure release
screw.
X
Secure the faulty wheel in the spare wheel
bracket (Y page 186).
X
Stow the jack and the vehicle tool kit.
X
Check the tire pressure and correct if
necessary (Y page 288).
X
Retighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts to
the specified tightening torque after the
vehicle has been driven for 30 miles
(50 km).
Retightening wheel nuts/wheel bolts

WARNING
The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts
and bolts are not tightened to the specified
tightening torque. There is a risk of accident.
Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
The tightening torque for wheel bolts is:
R
177 lb-ft (240 Nm) for steel wheels
R
133 lb-ft (180 Nm) for alloy wheels
The tightening torque for wheel nuts is
133 lb-ft (180 Nm).
When using newly painted rims, retighten
additionally with the specified tightening
torque after approximately 600 to
3000 miles (1000 to 5000 km).

Notes on changing bulbs
The bulbs and lamps are an essential
component of vehicle safety. Therefore, make
sure that each bulb is always working.
G
WARNING
Bulbs and lamps can become very hot. For
this reason, allow them to cool down before
changing them. Otherwise, you could burn
yourself when you touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Otherwise, they could, for example, damage
the bulbs and injure themselves.
Never use a bulb which has been dropped.
Such a bulb may explode and injure you.
Halogen bulbs are pressurized and could
explode when you change them, especially if
they are very hot. You should therefore wear
eye protection and gloves when you are
changing them.
