Replace the wheel trim or the caps.
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.
