After changing the wheel there are still tasks to complete.
– Put the tools and jack back in the luggage compartment.
– Place the wheel with the defective tyre in the luggage compart-
ment and secure it.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted tyre as soon as
possible.

possible with a torque wrench. The prescribed torque is 120 Nm.

changing a wheel, they must be replaced before having the wheel bolt torque
checked.

torque has been checked.
