You should only change the wheels yourself if
the
v
ehic
le is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance.
WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cia
lly on the hard shoulder. Please observe
the following rules to minimise the risk of in-
jury:
●
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park at a safe distance from surrounding traf-
fic to change a wheel.
●
When changing a wheel, keep all passen-
gers, and particularly children, a safe dis-
tance away from the work area.
●
Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
●
Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. If necessary, support the jack on a
wide solid base.
●
If you are changing a wheel yourself, you
should be familiar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek professio-
nal assistance.
●
Only use suitable tools that are not dam-
aged when changing a wheel.
●
Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lever firmly and place the selector lever
in position P, or engage a gear for a manual
gearbox to reduce the risk of the vehicle mov-
ing acc
identally.
●
Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a reli-
able torque wrench.
WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitt
ed corr
ectly, they could cause major acci-
dents or damage.
●
Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may come
off while driving and endanger 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 signifi-
cantly longer braking distances.
CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking care
to avoid d
amage to the vehicle.
