To be equipped for a possible wheel change, the adapter for the anti-theft
wheel bolts must always be kept in the vehicle. The adapter is stowed in the
tool kit.
The position of the anti-theft wheel bolt is marked on the back of the wheel
cover on every factory-fitted or ŠKODA Original Accessory hub cap.
When using an anti-theft wheel bolt, make sure that this has been fitted ac-
cording to the position marked on the back of the wheel cover position.
Note
■
Note the code number which is embossed both on the adapter and also on
the end of each anti-theft wheel bolt. This number can be used to purchase a
replacement adapter from ŠKODA Original Parts if necessary.
■
The anti-theft wheel bolt set and adapter can be purchased from a ŠKODA
Partner.
