220 If and when
WARNING
Switch on the hazard warning lights and place the warning triangles in
position. This is for your own safety and also warns other road users.
CAUTION
If you have to change the wheel on a slope, it is essential to lock the parallel
wheel on the same axle as that to be changed, with a wedge or similar in
order to immobilise the vehicle.
Note
Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
Changing a wheel
Change the wheel as described below
–Remove the hub caps or the integral trim.
–Slacken the wheel bolts.
–Raise the vehicle with the jack at the corresponding point.
–Remove the wheel and then fit the spare wheel.
–Lower the vehicle.
–Tighten the wheel bolts firmly with the box spanner.
–Replace the hub cap.
After changing a wheel
After changing the wheel there are still tasks to complete.
–Put the tools and jack back in the luggage compartment.
–Place the wheel with the defective tyre in the luggage compart-
ment and secure it.
–Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted tyre as soon as pos-
sible.
–Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon
as possible with a torque wrench. The prescribed torque must
be 120 Nm.
Note
●If you notice that the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to turn when
changing a wheel, they must be replaced before having the wheel bolt tight-
ening torque checked.
●For safety reasons, drive at moderate speeds until the wheel bolt tight-
ening torque has been checked.
