& WARNING Risk of accident from losing a
wheel
Oiled or greased wheel bolts can cause the
wheel bolts to come loose, as too can dam‐
aged wheel bolts or wheel hub threads.
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
#
tyres ( page 332).

For tyres with a specified direction of rotation,
an arrow on the side wall of the tyre indicates
the correct direction of rotation. Observe the
direction of rotation when fitting.
Slide the wheel to be mounted onto the cen‐
#
tring pin and push it on.
