Removing a wheel
!
AMG ceramic high performance com-
pound brake system:
When detaching or attaching the wheel, the
wheel rim may hit against the ceramic
brake disc and damage it.
For this reason, you should proceed care-
fully. Request the assistance of a second
person or use a second alignment bolt.
!
Do not place wheel bolts in sand or on a
dirty surface. The bolt and wheel hub
threads could otherwise be damaged when
you screw them in.
When installing/removing wheels, and for as
long as the wheels are removed, avoid apply-
ing any external force on the brake discs. This
could impair the level of comfort when brak-
ing.

pletely.

damage to the threads, contact a qualified
specialist workshop immediately. Have the
damaged wheel bolts or hub threads
replaced/renewed. Do not continue driving.
