Some vehicle versions and models do not

this case, we recommend consulting a Speci-

Emergencies
You should only change the wheels yourself if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance.
WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, es-
pecially on the hard shoulder. Please ob-
serve the following rules to minimise the
risk of injury:
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possi-
●
ble. Park at a safe distance from surround-
ing traffic to change a wheel.
When changing a wheel, keep all pas-
●
sengers, and particularly children, a safe
distance away from the work area.
Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
●
other road users.
Ensure the ground on which you park is
●
flat and solid. If necessary, support the
jack on a wide solid base.
If you are changing a wheel yourself, you
●
should be familiar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek profes-
sional assistance.
Only use suitable tools that are not dam-
●
aged when changing a wheel.
Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
●
brake lever firmly and place the selector
lever in position N, or engage a gear for a
manual gearbox to reduce the risk of the
vehicle moving accidentally.
Have the tightening torque of the wheel
●
bolts checked as soon as possible with a
reliable torque wrench.
WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitted correctly, they could cause major
accidents or damage.
Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may
●
come off while driving and endanger other
road users.
Damaged trims must never be mounted
●
on the wheels.
Always ensure that the brake ventilation
●
and cooling is not cut off or blocked. This is
also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there
is not enough air, you may require signifi-
cantly longer braking distances.
CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking
care to avoid damage to the vehicle.
