Removing a Road Wheel

WARNINGS

Park your vehicle so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic or place
yourself in any danger and set up a

warning triangle.

Switch the ignition off and apply the
parking brake.

If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, shift into first or reverse
gear. If your vehicle has an automatic

transmission, shift into park (P).

Make sure all passengers are out of
your vehicle.

Make sure that your vehicle is on firm
and level ground with the front
wheels pointing straight ahead.

WARNINGS

Chock the diagonally opposite wheel
to the punctured tire with an
appropriate block or wheel chock. A

wheel chock may be in the B-pillar or in a
storage compartment in the front
right-hand side stepwell.

Make sure that the arrows on
directional tires point in the direction
of rotation when your vehicle is

moving forward. If you have to fit a spare
tire with the arrows pointing in the opposite
direction have the tire refitted as soon as
possible.

1.

Use the locking lug nut key to loosen
the locking lug nut.

2. Loosen the remaining lug nuts, but do

not remove them.

3. Raise your vehicle until the tire is clear

of the ground.

4. Remove the lug nuts and the road

wheel.

Note: Do not lay alloy road wheels face
down on the ground.

Installing a Road Wheel

WARNINGS

Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could
damage your vehicle and will make

the National Type Approval invalid.

Make sure there is no grease or oil on
the threads or the surface between
the wheel lugs and nuts. This can

cause the lug nuts to loosen while driving.

When you install a wheel, always
remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present on the mounting

surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the
wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that
contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure
any fasteners that attach the rotor to the

WARNINGS

hub so they do not interfere with the
mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing
wheels without correct metal-to-metal
contact at the wheel mounting surfaces
can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and
the wheel to come off while your vehicle
is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle
control, personal injury or death.

Only use the specific lug nuts and
wheels supplied with your vehicle. If
in doubt, contact an authorized

dealer.

Do not install alloy wheels using lug
nuts designed for use with steel
wheels.

The lug nuts of alloy wheels and
spoked steel wheels can also be
used for the steel spare wheel for a

short time (maximum two weeks).

Note: Alloy wheel lug nuts are suitable for
use on a steel spare wheel.

Note: If the spare wheel is not the same
type and size as your vehicle road wheel
replace it as soon as possible.

Note: Check the lug nuts for correct
tightness and check the tire pressure as
soon as possible.

Stowing the Wheel and Vehicle
Jack

Note: Do not raise the spare wheel bracket
without a wheel attached. Damage to the
winch mechanism could occur.

1.

Attach the spare wheel bracket to the
wheel using the retaining nut.

attach the spare wheel bracket to the
winch.

3. Rotate the cable through 90 degrees

and lower the cable end cover.

into the socket. Turn it clockwise until
you feel a strong resistance. Make sure
the wheel is secure.

5. Stow the vehicle jack, jack handle and

lug wrench in their correct locations
and secure them with the straps.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications

WARNING

When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners

that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.
