WARNING
Information on the wheel bolts
The wheel bolts must be clean and must turn easily. Never treat them with
■
grease or oil.
The prescribed tightening torque of the wheel bolts for steel and light alloy
■
wheels is 120 Nm.
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a too low tightening torque, the rim can
■
come loose when the car is moving – risk of accident! A tightening torque
which is too high can damage the bolts and threads and this can result in per-
manent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim.
In case of incorrect treatment of the wheel bolts, the wheel can loosen
■
when the car is moving – risk of accident!
WARNING
Information on the spare wheel
Only use the spare wheel while absolutely necessary.
■
Never drive with more than one spare wheel mounted.
■
The snow chains cannot be used on the spare wheel.
■
CAUTION
If a spare wheel is used that is not identical to the fitted tyres, the following
■
must be observed » page 216, Spare wheel.
Protect the tyres from contact with oil, grease and fuel.
■
Replace lost valve caps.
■
If, in the event of a puncture, it is necessary to fit a spare wheel with a tyre
■
without a dedicated running direction or with the opposite direction of rotation,
drive carefully as the optimal characteristics of the tyre are no longer applicable in
this situation.
For the sake of the environment
Tyres that are insufficiently inflated increase your fuel consumption.
Note
We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres be carried out by a spe-
■
cialist garage.
We recommend that you use wheel rims, tyres, full wheel trims and snow chains

Service life of tyres
Fig. 165 Principle sketch: Tyre tread with wear indicators/open fuel filler
flap with a table detailing the tyre sizes and tyre inflation pressures

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 212.
The service life of tyres depends on the inflation pressure, driving style and other
circumstances. Following the advice below can extend the service life of your
tyres.
Tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure, including that of the spare wheel, at least once a month
and also before setting off on a long journey.
The tyre pressures for tyres are shown on the inside of the fuel filler
flap » Fig. 165 – .
The tyre pressure for the spare wheel should correspond to the highest pressure
specified for your vehicle.
