If and when
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 242.
5)
Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn before raising the vehicle with
the jack. Failure to do so could result in an accident.
•
Do not use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle to loosen or
tighten the wheel bolts.
•
If the wheel bolt does not come loose, it may be possible to release it by
pushing down the end of the spanner carefully with your foot. Hold on to the
vehicle for support and take care not to slip.
