.
WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not treated suitably or
not tightened to the correct torque then this
could lead to loss of vehicle control and to a
serious accident.
●
All the wheel bolts and hub threads should
be clean and free of oil and grease. The wheel
bolts should be easily tightened to the cor-
rect torque.
●
The hexagonal socket in the wheel brace
should be used for turning wheel bolts only.
Do not use it to loosen or tighten the wheel
bolts.
After changing the wheel
●
Clean the wheel brace, if necessary, and
put it away in the boot ››› page 244.
●
Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench ››› page 248.
Note
If the vehicle is fitted with a tyre monitoring
system, this should be “reprogrammed” if
necessary whenever a tyre is changed

Tyre repair
TMS (Tyre Mobility System)*
The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the
penetration of a foreign body of up to about
4 mm
in diameter.
Do not remove foreign ob-
j
ects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
Once the sealant is in the tyre, make sure to
check the pressure after 10 minutes driving.
If the vehicle has more than one damaged
tyre, seek professional assistance. The tyre
mobility system is designed for filling one
tyre.
Only use the tyre mobility system if the vehi-
cle is properly parked, you know how to do it
