• Pay attention to the following after
changing a wheel:
- Check the tyre pressure immediatel y on
the spare wheel which has been fitted .
-
Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked with a torque wrench as soon as possible. The torque for steel and alloy wheels, and for the temporary
wheel is 110 Nm .
If it has been established when changing
the wheel that wheel bolts are corroded and
hard to screw
in, they must be renewed be­
fore checking the tightening torque.
Until these checks have been carried out
one should, for safe ty reasons, only drive at
a moderate speed. •
The defective wheel
must be repaired as soon as possible and, on vehicles with tem­
porary spare wheel, put back on vehicle im­
mediately. The wheel trim cover must also be installed.
Attention If the vehicle is to be subse­quently fitted with wheels or tyres which differ from those fitted by the factory. it is essen­tial to read the remarks in the centre and right-hand columns on page 108.
