Changing a wheel

The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack\
and crank are secured in the
wheel recess.
l Engage the parking brake.
l Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual)\
.
l Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the to\
ol kit.
l With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel\
bolts 1/2 - 1 turn. Turn the
bolts counterclockwise to loosen.
l Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the nob on the handle \
downward. To attach the jack,
refer to the illustration on the following page.

NOTE:
To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reins\
tall wheels in same location
and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each \
wheel hub is equipped with a
guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its orig\
inal position (as when changing
over to winter tires/wheels).

*The guide stud in not visible from the outside of the wheel on turbo mo\
dels.

Reverse gear (manual

Installing the wheel

Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and plac\
e it on the hub. Make sure that
you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to instal\
lation. Install the wheel bolts
cross-wise (see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clockwise\
. Lower the vehicle to the ground
and alternately tighten the bolts to 81 ft. lbs. (110 NM). Install the\
wheel cap (where applicable).
CAUTION: Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The \
wheel bolts should never
be greased or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be \
used with steel rims, as they
make is impossible to fit the hub caps.
