Wheel Securing Bolts
The wrench socket for the wheel securing bolts

To loosen or tighten the wheel bolt with anti-theft
protection, a wrench socket with the appropriate
coding must be used between the wheel bolt
and the wheel-bolt spanner.

When positioning the wrench socket, ensure
that it engages fully in the teeth of the wheel
bolt.
If the wheels have to be removed at the work-
shop, please do not forget to hand over the
wrench socket for the wheel securing bolts
along with the car key.
