Putting on the spare wheel
When putting on a tyre with directional tread pattern, refer to ►Link.
Put on the wheel, using the mounting pin to guide it into place Caution!.
Screw in the wheel bolts and tighten them lightly using the hexagonal socket.
Then unscrew the mounting pin and tighten the remaining wheel bolt lightly.
Carefully lower the car with the jack*.
Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal sequence with the box spanner.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily. Before putting on the spare wheel, inspect the condition of the wheel and hub mounting surfaces. These surfaces must be clean before mounting the wheel.
WARNING!
Do not use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle to tighten the wheel bolts. It is not possible to tighten the bolts to the required torque using the hexagonal socket - risk of accident!
When removing/ fitting the wheel the rim may hit and damage the brake disc/ceramic* brake disc. For this reason, please take care and get a second person to assist you.
1) Applies to vehicles with ceramic brake discs*: Use a second mounting pin* for the bottom hole (stored in the tool kit holder) following the same procedure as described for the first mounting pin.
