If and when
– The inflation pressure of the newly fitted spare tyre must be
checked as soon as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon
as possible with a torque wrench. It must be 120 Nm (always
when cold)
– Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possible.
Note
•
If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty and difficult to turn when
changing a wheel, they must be replaced before having the tightening torque
checked.
•
For your safety, drive at moderate speeds until the wheel bolt tightening
torque has been checked.
Loosening and tightening the wheel bolts
The wheel bolts must be loosened before raising the vehicle.
Loosening
– Fit the box spanner as far as it will go over the wheel bolt
– Grip the box spanner as close to the end as possible and turn the
wheel bolts about one turn anti-clockwise
Tightening
– Fit the box spanner as far as it will go over the wheel bolt
– Grip the box spanner as close to the end as possible and tighten
the bolt firmly by turning clockwise.
An adapter is required to unscrew or tighten the anti-theft wheel bolts* ⇒ page 261.
