After changing a wheel
What you must do after changing a wheel.
– Place the wheel with the defective tyre in the spare wheel
well and secure it.
– Put the tools and the jack* back in the luggage compartment.
– The inflation pressure of the newly fitted spare tyre must
be checked as soon as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as
soon as possible with a torque wrench. The correct tightening
torque is 120 Nm.
– Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possible.
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 tightening torque checked.
• In the interest of safety, drive at moderate speeds until the tightening
torque of the wheel bolts has been checked.
