Tightening torque
Tightening torque of wheel bolts and wheel nuts:
130 Nm (96 ftlb.).
Security wheel bolts
The adapter (wrench socket) for the security
wheel bolts is in the tool kit.
The adapter must be used between the wheel bolt
and the wheel bolt wrench to loosen or tighten
wheel bolts with anti-theft protection.

of the wheel bolt.
If the wheels have to be removed at the workshop,
please do not forget to hand over the socket for
the security wheel bolts along with the vehicle key.
