Wheel cover
Fig. 189 Removing the wheel cover.
The wheel cover protects the wheel bolts and
must be fitted again after changing the
wheel.
Removing wheel covers
— Take the wire hook from the vehicle tool-
kit → page 292.
— Insert the wire hook into one of the holes
in the wheel cover.
— Use the wire hook to pull off the wheel
cover in the direction of the arrow. If nec-
essary, use a box spanner to do this
→ Fig. 189 .
Fitting wheel covers
— Check the correct position of the anti-
theft wheel bolt → page 344.
— Press the wheel cover onto the wheel rim
so that the valve hole is located over the
tyre valve. Please ensure the cover engag-
es securely all the way round.
WARNING
Using unsuitable hubcaps, or fitting them
incorrectly, can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can become
loose while the vehicle is in motion and en-
danger other road users.
·
Do not use damaged hubcaps.
·
Always ensure that the airflow to cool
the brakes is not restricted or reduced.
This also applies if hubcaps are retrofit-
ted. If the airflow is not sufficient, the
braking distance could increase signifi-
cantly.
NOTICE
The wheel cover can be firmly fixed and
should not be removed using force.
Wheel bolt caps
Fig. 190 Removing the wheel bolt caps.
The caps protect the wheel bolts and should
be fitted fully back in position after changing
the wheel.
Removing and fitting the caps
—
Removing: take the wire hook from the
vehicle toolkit → page 292.
— Insert the wire hook through the opening
in the cap → Fig. 190 and pull off in the di-
rection of the arrow.
— Fitting : press the caps onto the bolts as far
as they will go.
The anti-theft wheel bolt has a separate cap.
It only fits onto the anti-theft wheel bolt and
not onto the conventional wheel bolts.
