Have the tightening torque checked with a torque wrench as soon as possible.
Steel and light alloy wheels must be tightened to a tightening torque of 120 Nm.
The safety wheel bolts on vehicles fitted with them (one safety wheel bolt per
wheel) can only be loosened or tighten up by using the adapter provided.
It is meaningful to note the code number hammered into the rear side of the
adapter or the rear side of the safety wheel bolts. You can obtain a replacement
adapter from an authorised Škoda Service Partner, if necessary, by quoting this
number.
We recommend that you always carry the adapter for the wheel bolts with you in
the vehicle. It should be stowed in the vehicle tool kit.
Caution
Damage can occur to the adapter and safety wheel bolt if the safety wheel bolt
is tightened up too much.
On steel wheels, the theft-deterrent wheel bolt must always be installed in the
hole, which is close to the valve. Otherwise the full wheel trim cannot be mounted
and the full wheel trim can be damaged during the assembly.
Note
The set of safety wheel bolts can be obtained from a specialist garage.
Tyre repair kit
General information
The tyre repair kit is located in a box under the carpet in the luggage compartment .
Use the tyre repair kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or a
puncture with diameters up to 4 mm. Do not remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or
nails, from the tyre!
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
The repair with the tyre repair kit is not at all intended to replace a permanent
repair on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
Do not use the tyre repair kit:
to repair wheel damage,
in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size,
to repair damage to the tyre wall,
when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre,
if the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
WARNING
If you find yourself in flowing traffic switch on the hazard warning lights
system and place the warning triangle on the side of the road at the prescribed
distance from your vehicle. Comply with the national legal regulations. In this
way you are protecting not only yourself but also other road users.
Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat
and firm a surface as possible.
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes!
Sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
For the sake of the environment
Used sealant or sealant whose expiry date has passed must be disposed of in
accordance with environmental protection regulations.
Note
Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the tyre repair kit.
You can purchase a new bottle of sealant from the range of the Škoda original
accessories.
Change the wheel that was repaired using the tyre repair kit or consult a
specialist garage about possibilities for getting repairs done.
