Fitting hubcaps
● It is necessary to press the hubcap against
the wheel so that
the space for the valve fits
over the tyre valve.
● Make sure that the hubcap is correctly fit-
ted all
the way around the wheel. If you are
using an anti-theft wheel lock, screw it in the
opposite position to the valve. Wheel bolt caps

● Remove the cap with the plastic clip.
The caps
protect the wheel bolts and should
be remounted after changing the tyre.
The anti-theft wheel bolt has a special cap
which is only compatible with anti-theft bolts
and cannot be used for conventional bolts. 37

● Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn
before r
aising the vehicle with the jack. ●
If the wheel bo
lt is very tight, you may be
able to loosen it by pushing down on the end
of the wheel brace carefully with your foot.
Hold on to the vehicle for support and take
care not to slip.

››› .Important information about wheel bolts
The wheel
rims and bo

lts have been de-
signed to be fitted to factory options. If differ-
ent rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads must be used. This ensures that
wheels are fitted securely and that the brake
system functions correctly.
In some circumstances, wheel bolts from the
same model vehicle should not be used.
Wheel bolt tightening torque
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 110 Nm.
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
checked as soon as possible with a reliable
torque wrench.
If wheel bolts are rusty and it is difficult to
tighten them, the threads should be replaced
and cleaned before checking the tightening
torque.
Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub threads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not fitted correctly they
cou l

d be released while driving leading to
loss of vehicle control and serious damage. 38
