●
Observe the applicable legislation for each
country (reflective vest, warning triangles,
etc.).
●
All occupants should leave the vehicle and
wait in a safe place (for instance behind the
roadside crash barrier).
WARNING

Al
ways observe the above steps and pro-
tect yourself and other road users.

If you change the wheel on a slope, block
the wheel on the opposite side of the car

Fitting
●
Press the trim against the wheel so that the
hole for the valve fits over the tyre valve.
●
Make sure that the trim is correctly fitted all
the way around the wheel. If you are using an
anti-theft wheel lock, screw it in the opposite
position to the valve.

be remounted after changing the tyre.
The anti-theft wheel locking bolt has a
special cap. This only fits on anti-theft locking
bolts and is not for use with standard wheel
bolts.
