of accident!
© CAUTION
When removing/fitting the wheel the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc. For this

reason,
please take care and get
a
second per­
son to assist you.

(T) Note

The wheel bolts are easier to remove from the
wheel rim if
you
use the hexagonal socket in
the screwdriver handle. The reversible screw­
driver blade should be removed as a precau­
tionary measure when the tool is used for this
purpose.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im­
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
If
you
ever have a puncture and need to fit the
spare wheel* in the wrong direction, please drive
with extra care because the tyre will not give op­
timum performance in this situation. Bear this in
mind particularly when driving on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
• Fit the hubcap or wheel bolt caps back on, as

required.

• Put the tools and jack back in the luggage com­
partment.
• If the replaced wheel will not fit into the spare
wheel
well,
stow it safely in the luggage com­
partment
*page
272.
• Check the tyre pressure of the fitted wheel as
soon as possible.
• On vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator,
adjust the tyre pressures and store them via the
infotainment system
opage
311.
• The wheel bolts should be tightened to 140

Nm.
Have this checked as soon as possibLe with
a torque wrench. Until
then,
drive with caution.
• Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possi­

ble.
