Wheels

Tyre pressure, snow chains and
wheel bolts
Tyre pressure
The sticker with the tyre pressure values can
be found on the inside of the fuel tank flap.
The tyre pressure values given there are for
cold tyres. The slightly raised pressures of
warm tyres must not be reduced.
The pressure for winter tyres is 0.2 bar
(2.9 psi / 20 kPa) higher than that of summer
tyres.
Snow chains
Snow chains may be fitted only to the front
wheels.

Consult section  page 52, Snow
chains.
Wheel bolts
After the wheels have been changed, the
tightening torque of the wheel bolts should
be checked as soon as possible with a torque
›››
wrench . The tightening torque for steel
and alloy wheels is 140 Nm.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure at least once per
●
month. Checking the tyre pressure is very
366
Technical data
important. If the tyre pressure is too high or
too low, there is an increased danger of ac-
cidents - particularly at high speeds.
If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
●
is too low, they could loosen while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the
tightening torque is too high, the wheel
bolts and threads can be damaged.
Note
››› We recommend that you ask your Techni-
cal Service for information about appropri-
ate wheel, tyre and snow chain size.
