Important information about the wheel bolts
The design of the wheel rims and wheel bolts is matched to the factory-fitted wheels. If different 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 works properly.
In certain circumstances, wheel bolts from a vehi-cle of the same model series may not be used.
Tightening torque for the wheel bolts
The tightening torque for wheel bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 180 Nm. The tightening torque should be checked with a torque wrench immedi-ately after changing a wheel. .,.

Checklist (Continued)
7. Raise the vehicle jack until it just fits under the jacking point of the vehicle.
8. Make sure that the foot of the jack is resting securely on the ground with its whole sur-face and that its axis of rotation is posi-tioned precisely, i.e. vertically beneath the point of application. For better clarity, extend the line from the point of application to the axis of rotation of the jack foot =>Fig. 300.
9. Position the vehicle jack. At the same time, continue to crank the claw up until it is in po-sition around the vertical rib underneath the vehicle => Fig. 300.
10. Crank the vehicle jack further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
A WARNING
Incorrect use of the vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack, which can lead to severe Injuries. Please note the following points In order to reduce the risk of Injuries:
• Only use vehicle jacks which have been approved by Volkswagen Commercial Vehi-cles for your vehicle type. Other vehicle jacks could slip out of position-this Includes vehi-cle jacks supplied with other Volkswagen models.
• The ground must be firm and level. Soft ground or surfaces at an Incline under the ve-hicle jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. If necessary use a large, strong board or similar support for the vehicle jack.

424 If and when
A WARNING (ConUnued)
• On a hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the ve-hicle jack from slipping.
• Fit the vehicle jack only at the points de-scribed. The vehicle jack claw must grip the vertical rib under the door sill securely =>Fig. 300.
• Never place any part of your body (e.g. an arm or leg) underneath the vehicle If the latter Is only supported by the vehicle jack.
• If you have to work underneath the vehi-cle, use suitable stands to provide extra sup-port for the vehicle.
• Never lift the vehicle when the engine is running, or If the vehicle is tilted to the side or on a gradient
• Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised on a vehicle jack. Engine vibrations can cause the vehicle to fall off the vehicle jack.

You can use the breakdown set (tyre mobility set) to safely seal any tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or punctures (up to 4 mm (0.16 Inches) in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or nails) from the tyrel
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked again after approxi-mately 10 minutes of driving.
,A WARNING
Incorrect torque or incorrect use of wheel bolts can lead to a loss of control of the vehi-cle, cause accidents and serious Injuries.
• Always keep all wheel bolts and threads In the wheel hubs clean and free from oil and grease. The wheel bolts must be easy to turn and be tightened to the specified torque.
• The hexagonal socket In the screwdriver handle should only be used for turning wheel bolts, not use for loosening or tightening them. • The tightening torque of the wheel bolts should be checked immediately with a torque wrench opage 421.
• The damaged wheel should be replaced as soon as possible.
m In vehicles with a tyre monitoring system, the L!..J system may have to "re-learn" if new tyres are fitted 318. Seek expert assistance if more than one vehicle tyre is damaged. The breakdown set is only de-signed for filling one tyre.
Only use the breakdown set if the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the required ac-tions and safety procedures, and you have access to the correct breakdown set. Seek expert assis-tance if this is not the case.
The tyre sealant must not be used:
• If the rim is damaged.
• If the outside temperature is below -2o•c (-4 ·F).
• If there are cuts or punctures in the tyre that are larger than 4 mm. .,.
