First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 119.

Hook the clamp found in the vehicle tool kit into the reinforced edge of the full
wheel trim.
›
Push the wheel wrench through the clamp, support on the tyre and pull off the
wheel trim.
Install
›
First press the full wheel trim onto the wheel rim at the valve opening provided.
Then press the full wheel trim into the wheel rim until its entire circumference
locks correctly in place.
CAUTION
Use the pressure of your hand, do not knock the full wheel trim! Heavy knocks
■
mainly on the points where the full wheel trim has not been inserted into the
wheel, can result in damage to the guide and centring elements of the full wheel
trim.
First of all check that the theft-deterrent wheel bolt is located in the hole near
■
the valve before fitting the full wheel trim onto a steel wheel which is attached
with a theft-deterrent wheel bolt.
If wheel trims are retrofitted it must be ensured that an adequate flow of air is
■
assured to cool the brake system.

Wheel bolts

ings on page 119.
Wheels and wheel bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. Each time
you fit other wheels, e.g. light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres, you must
therefore also use the matching wheel bolts of the correct length and shape of
spherical cap. This is essential to ensure that the wheels are tightly fitted and
that the brake system operates properly.

Winter tyres

ings on page 119.
The handling of your vehicle will be significantly improved when driving on wintry
roads if you fit winter tyres. Summer tyres do not offer the same grip on ice, snow
and at temperatures below 7 °C because of their construction (width, rubber
blend, tread pattern). This particularly applies to vehicles which are equipped with
low-profile tyres or high-speed tyres (code index H or V on wall of tyre).
To achieve the best possible handling properties, winter tyres must be fitted on
all 4 wheels, the minimum tread depth must be 4 mm and tyres must be no older
than 4 years.
Winter tyres of a lower speed category can be used provided that the permissible
maximum speed of these tyres is not exceeded even if the possible maximum
speed of the vehicle is higher.
