pointed the right way
c> page 362.
-Th e wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
mating surfaces of both the wheel and the

fore remounting the wheel.
Unidirectional tires
A un idirectional tire profi le is identified by arrows
that point in the running direct ion on the tire
s idewa ll. You must always adhere to the speci­
fied running direction. This is necessary ensure
t h e tire's optimum performance in regard to ad­
hesion, running noise, friction and hydroplaning .
To benefit fully from the advantages of the uni­
directional tire design, you should rep lace fau lty
tires as soon as possible and restore the correct
running direction on all of the tires.

• Reinstall the caps on the wheel bolts if neces­
sary.
• Store the veh icle tool k it in its designated
place .
• Store the replaced tire securely in the luggage

page 349.
• The wheel bolt tightening specification must be
120 ft lbs (160 Nm). Check it as soon as possi­
ble with a torque wrench. Drive carefully until
then .
• Have the faulty wheel replaced as quickly as
