WHEELS AND TYRES
||
IMPORTANT
When the jack* is not in use it must be
•
stored in its storage space under the
cargo area floor.
The jack included with the car is only
•
designed for occasional, short-term
use, such as when changing a wheel
after a puncture. Only the jack belong-
ing to the specific model is to be used
to jack up the car. If the car is to be
jacked up more often, or for a longer
time than is required just to change a
wheel, use of a garage jack is recom-
mended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the
equipment.
Removing a wheel
Read through all instructions before begin-
ning. Take out the tools needed before jacking
up the car.
1. Activate the hazard warning flashers and
set out a warning triangle if a wheel shall
be changed in a trafficked location.
2. Make sure that the parking brake is acti-
vated and engage gear position P.
3. Chock in front of and behind the wheels
that remain on the ground. Use, for exam-
ple, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.

4. Screw together the towing eye with the
wheel wrench to the stop position.
5. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel
bolts with the intended tool.
6. With the car still on the ground, use the
wheel bolt wrench/towing eye to undo the
wheel bolts ½-1 turn by pressing down-
wards (anticlockwise). Always start with
the lockable wheel bolts*.
7. Follow the instructions for how to safely
raise the car with the jack.
8. Raise the car high enough to allow the
wheel to be removed to move freely.
Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the
wheel.
Mounting a wheel
1. Clean the surfaces between wheel and
hub.
2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts
thoroughly.
Do not use lubricant on the threads of the
wheel bolts.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot
rotate.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is
important that the wheel bolts are tight-
ened properly. Tighten to 140 Nm
(103 foot-pound). Check the tightening
torque with a torque wrench.
5. Refit the plastic caps over the wheel bolts.
6. Check the tyre pressure and save the new
tyre pressure in the system for tyre pres-
sure monitoring*.
