Wheel trims
Introduction
Additional information and warnings:
● Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior ⇒ page 197
● Vehicle tools ⇒ page 246
● Change wheel ⇒ page 250
● Tire Mobility Set ⇒ page 256
WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not fitted correctly, they could
cause major accidents or damage.
● Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may come off while driving and en-
danger other road users.
● Damaged trims must never be mounted on the wheels.
● Always ensure that the brake ventilation and cooling is not cut off or
blocked. This is also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there is not
enough air, you may require significantly longer braking distances.
CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking care to avoid damage to the vehi-
cle.
Hubcaps
Fig. 138 Remove the
hubcap of the steel wheel
trim
In order to access the wheel bolts, first remove the hubcap.
Removing and fitting the hubcap
● To remove, take the vehicle tool kit wire hook and attach it to the edge of
the wheel trim ⇒ Fig. 138.
● Remove the trim by pulling it in the direction of the arrow.
● To replace the hubcap, press the hubcap against the trim until it clicks
into place.
The caps protect the wheel bolts and should be remounted after changing
the tyre.
