– On alloy wheels: replace the wheel bolt caps.
– On plate wheels: replace the wheel hubcap ⇒ page 278.
– Put the tools and jack back in the luggage compartment.
– If the replaced wheel does not fit in the spare wheel housing,
store it safely in the luggage compartment ⇒ page 17.

que as soon as possible with a torque wrench. Meanwhile, drive
