Tightening torque of wheel bolts
Specified tightening torque for wheel bolts for steel or alloy wheels:
Nm
If the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to turn, they must be replaced before the tightening
torque is checked and the wheel hub threads cleaned.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts or the threads of the wheel hub.
The tightening torque should be checked with a properly functioning torque wrench immediately
after changing a wheel.

Find the jacking point under the vehicle which is closest to the wheel that is being changed.

Insert the crank into the opening on the jack (depends on the vehicle equipment).

Crank up the jack until it just fits under the jacking point of the vehicle.

Ensure that the entire surface of the foot of the jack is resting securely on the floor, and that the
foot of the jack is positioned fully underneath the point of application and .

Position the jack and simultaneously continue to crank the claw up until it is in position around the
vertical rib underneath the vehicle .

Crank the jack further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.

Breakdown set
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Contents of the breakdown set 
⇒ Preparations 
⇒ Sealing and inflating tyres 

⇒ Check after driving for 10 minutes 
The breakdown set can be used to temporarily and reliably seal any tyre damage caused by foreign
bodies or punctures (up to approx. 4 mm in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or
nails) from the tyre!
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted again
after approximately 10 minutes of driving.
Seek expert assistance if more than one of the vehicle's tyres is damaged. The breakdown set is
designed to fill only one tyre.
Only use the breakdown set when the vehicle has been safely parked and you are familiar with the
work and safety precautions needed. Seek expert assistance if this is not the case.
The tyre sealant must not be used:
