before mounting the hubcap.
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads must be used. This ensures that
wheels are fitted securely and that the brake
system functions correctly.
In some circumstances, wheel bolts from the
same model vehicle should not be used.
Wheel bolt tightening torque
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 110 Nm.
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
checked as soon as possible with a reliable
torque wrench.
If wheel bolts are rusty and it is difficult to
tighten them, the threads should be replaced
and cleaned before checking the tighten-
ing torque.
Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub threads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving.
WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not fitted correctly
they could be released while driving lead-
ing to loss of vehicle control and serious
damage.
Only use wheel bolts which correspond
●
to the wheel rims in question.
Never use different wheel bolts.
