Oiled or greased wheel bolts can cause the

Never oil or grease the threads.

In the event of damage to the threads,
#
contact a qualified specialist workshop
immediately.
Have the damaged wheel bolts or dam‐
#
aged hub threads replaced.
Do not continue driving.

Observe the information on the choice of

the correct direction of rotation. Observe the
direction of rotation when fitting.

#
when the vehicle is on the ground.
Be sure to observe the instructions and
#
