Raising The Vehicle - Seat Mii Electric Owner's Manual

WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not properly tight-
ened, they could come loose while driving
and cause an accident, serious injury and
loss of vehicle control.
Use only wheel bolts which correspond
●
to the rim in question.
Never use different wheel bolts.
●
Wheel bolts and threads should be clean,
●
free of oil and grease, and it should be pos-
sible to screw them easily.
To loosen and tighten wheel bolts, only
●
use the wheel wrench that came with the
car from the factory.
The wheel bolts should only be loosened
●
slightly (about one turn) before raising the
vehicle with the jack. Risk of accident!
Never apply grease or oil to wheel bolts
●
or to the wheel hub threads. Even if the
bolts have been tightened to the prescri-
bed torque, they could come loose while
driving.
Never loosen the screwed joints of wheel
●
rims with bolted ring trims.
If wheel bolts are tightened below the
●
prescribed torque, the bolts and rims could
come loose while driving. If tightening tor-
que is too high, the wheel bolts or threads
can be damaged.
