10. Align the valve hole in the wheel
cover with the tyre valve before
installing.
Install wheel bolt caps.
11. Stow the replaced wheel 3 176
and the vehicle tools 3 167.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the
installed tyre and also the wheel
bolt torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired.
Spare wheel
Some vehicles are equipped with
a tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel.
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations.
The spare wheel has a steel rim.
The use of a spare wheel that is
smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres could
affect driveability. Have the defective
tyre replaced as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is located in the load
compartment beneath the floor
covering. It is secured with a wing nut.
The spare wheel well is not designed
for all permissible tyre sizes. If
a wheel wider than the spare wheel
has to be stowed in the load
compartment, it needs to be secured
with a strap or, depending on the
version, with an extension bar.
Storing a replaced wheel in the
load compartment using a strap
Use the strap placed in the tool box.
Vehicle tools 3 167.

according side.
■ Place the hook end of the strap
through the loop and pull it until the
