~1min read

WARNINGS

  • Only use wheels and tires of the correct size.

Using wheels and tires of other sizes may damage the vehicle and will invalidate its type approval. See Technical Specifications.

  • Do not fit puncture-resistant tires on vehicles that were not originally equipped with them.
  • Please contact your Dealer for further information on compatibility.

    CAUTION

    Do not fit alloy wheels using wheel nuts designed for steel wheels.

    Note: Alloy wheel nuts and spoked steel wheel nuts can also be used on the steel spare wheel for a short time (maximum two weeks).

    Note: Make sure the mating surfaces of the wheel and hub are free from foreign matter.

    Note: Make sure the tapered faces of the wheel nuts face the wheel.

    1. Fit the wheel.

    2. Screw in the nuts finger-tight.

    3. Fit the locking wheel nut key.
