Only use the middle rod and the pump lever rod
with the largest diameter for the jack as a lug
wrench extension. Only insert the middle rod on
the lug wrench, and always as far as it will go. Oth-
erwise, the rods could bend and deform so much
that they can no longer be used as pump levers for
the jack.
Using the pump lever, slowly turn the drain
#
screw on the jack approximately one revolution
and carefully lower the vehicle.
Place the jack to one side.

Pull the rod with the smallest diameter off the
#
pump lever.
The shortened pump lever serves as a lug
wrench extension.
Starting with the middle rod, slide the lug

wrench extension as far as it will go onto the
lug wrench.
Tighten the wheel bolts or nuts evenly in the

covers the center.
Wheel with wheel trim: position the opening in
the wheel trim for the tire valve over the tire
valve.
Push the edge of the hub cap onto the wheel
rim with both hands until it engages into place.
Make sure the hub cap retaining catches

Wheel with central hub cap: position the retain-
ing lugs of the central hub cap over the wheel
bolts.
Hit the middle of the hub cap to engage it on
the wheel.
Secure the faulty wheel in the spare wheel
holder.
Check the tire pressure of the newly installed
wheel and adjust it if necessary.
Retighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts to the
specified tightening torque after the vehicle
has been driven 31 miles (50 km).
When using a wheel or spare wheel with a new
or newly painted wheel rim, have the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts retightened after approx-
imately 620 miles (1,000 km) to 3,100 miles
(5,000 km).
Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem: all wheels installed must be equipped
with functioning sensors.
