DO-IT-YOURSELF

Jack up car until the wheel is just clear
of the ground.

Remove wheel bolts (after slackening)
1),
place them down on a clean surface (cloth,
paper, wheel cap) next to the car jack and
take off wheel.

Fit on spare wheel and attach wheel
bolts
1).

Tighten all the wheel bolts slightly. The
wheel bolts should be clean and turn freely.

On no account grease or oil them!

Lower car and tighten the wheel bolts
diagonally.

Press on the full wheel trim* first at the
valve opening and then apply pressure
around the entire circumference so that the
trim locks in position.
1)In order to accelerate the screwing out and in,
use the handle part of the screwdriver from the
car tool kit, which has on its end a hexagon
socket for the screw head.

Place the wheel removed in the spare
wheel well and secure with the handwheel.
Notes

After changing a wheel, pay attention to
the following points:
- Check the inflation pressure of the spare wheel fitted.
- Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked with a torque wrench as
soon as possible. The tightening torque
for steel and light alloy wheels is 120 Nm.

Have the faulty wheel repaired as quickly
as possible. Warning
In case of incorrect treatment of the
wheel bolts, the wheel can loosen
when the car is moving - risk of acci-
dent!
Wheel bolts must be clean and must
turn easily. However
, they must never
be treated with grease or oil.
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a
too low tightening torque, the trims
can loosen when the car is moving -
risk of accident! A tightening torque,
which is too high, can damage the
bolts and threads and this can result
in permanent deformation of the con-
tact surfaces on the trims.
If it is intended to subsequently fit
wheels or tyres other than the factory-
fitted versions to the car, it is essen-
tial to read the remarks on page 156.

Pull off the wheel caps and fit adapter B
onto the wheel bolt A. Turn adapter until
the splines engage.

Slacken or tighten the wheel bolt by fit-
ting the wheel wrench to the hexagon of the
adapter.

After removing the adapter, fit a protec-
tive cap onto the wheel bolt.
Note

It is essential that the locking bolt is tight-
ened to a torque of 120 Nm . If this torque
is exceeded, the bolt and the adapter may
in certain circumstances be damaged.

On steel wheels, the theft-deterrent
wheel bolt must always be installed in the
hole, which is close to the valve. Otherwise
the full wheel trim cannot be mounted and
the full wheel trim can be damaged during
the assembly.

You can also obtain the wheel lock bolt
set as a Genuine Accessory from your
Škoda dealer.
Anti-theft lock of wheels*Wheel locking bolts
A - Wheel bolt
B - Adapter
If wheel locking bolts are fitted to a car (one
bolt for each wheel), these can only be
slackened and tightened using the adapter
supplied. It is good practice to note the code
No. indicated on the adapter.
If the adapter or the wheel locking bolt is
lost, contact your Škoda Dealer.
Fire extinguisher*The fire extinguisher is located in the holder
below the driver seat and is secured with
straps.

Carefully read the instructions regarding
the fire extinguisher.

The fire extinguisher must be inspected
once a year by a regular person or a com-
pany. Please pay attention to the different
legal regulations.

The fire extinguisher is only delivered in
certain countries.

Pay attention to the expiration date of the
fire extinguisher. If the fire extinguisher is
used after the expiration date, its proper
function is no longer assured.
