Emergencies
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the
crossbar. Only place the jack* on the points
designed for this purpose on the strut. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle may be damaged.
Removing and installing a wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
nuts and raising the vehicle with the jack.
When removing/fitting the wheel, the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc. For this
reason, please take care and get a second
person to assist you.
Taking off the wheel
● Unscrew the wheel nuts using the box
spanner and place them on a clean surface.
●
Take off the wheel.
Putting on the spare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre

.
●
Place the spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel into position.
●
Screw on the wheel nuts in position and
tighten them loosely with a box spanner.
● To tighten the anti-theft locking wheel
nuts use the corresponding adaptor.
● Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.
●
Use the wheel spanner to tighten all of the
wheel nuts clockwise. Tighten the bolts in di-
agonal pairs (not in a circle).
●
Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on.
The wheel nuts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting sur-
faces. These surfaces must be clean before
fitting the wheel.
Tightening torque of the wheel nuts
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
nuts for steel and alloy wheels is
140 Nm . Af-
ter changing a wheel, have the tightening
torque checked immediately with a torque
wrench that is working perfectly.
Before checking
tightening torque, have
any rusty wheel nuts that are difficult to
screw replaced and clean the wheel hub
threads.
Never apply grease or oil to wheel nuts or to
the wheel hub threads. Even if the bolts have
been tightened to the prescribed torque,
they could come loose while driving.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
Tyres with directional tread pattern have
been designed to operate best when rotat-
ing in only one direction. An arrow on the
tyre sidewall indicates the direction of rota-
tion on tyres with directional tread. Always
observe the indicated direction of rotation in
order to guarantee optimum grip and help
avoid aquaplaning, excessive noise and
wear.
If the tyre is mounted in the opposite direc-
tion of rotation, drive with extreme caution,
as the tyre is no longer being used correctly.
This is of particular importance when the
road surface is wet. Change the tyre as soon
as possible or remount it with the correct di-
rection of rotation.
Works after changing a wheel
●
Replace the wheel bolt caps.
●
Return all tools to their proper storing loca-
tion.
●
If the replaced wheel does not fit in the
spare wheel housing, store it safely in the
luggage compartment

page 124 .
● Check the tyre pressure of the newly
mounted tyre as soon as possible.
●
In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-
cator, adjust the pressure and store it in
memory
