CAUTION■Use the pressure of your hand only, do not strike the trim. The cover could be
damaged.■
If wheel trims are fitted, it must be ensured that an adequate flow of air is
assured to cool the brake system.

We recommend that you use child seats from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Wheel bolts
Fig. 160
Remove the cap
Before removing the wheel bolts the caps are to be removed.
Pulling off
›
Push the extraction pliers » page 168 sufficiently far onto the cap until the
inner catches of the pliers are positioned at the collar of the cap.
›
Remove the cap in the direction of the arrow » Fig. 160.
Fitting
›
Push the cap onto the wheel bolt up to the stop.
Changing a wheel
When changing a wheel, the following instructions must be followed.
›
Remove the full wheel trim or the caps of the wheel bolts.
›
First of all slacken the anti-theft wheel bolt and then the other wheel bolts.
›
Jack up the vehicle until the wheel that needs changing is clear of the
ground.
›
Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper, etc.).
›
Remove the wheel carefully.
›
Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.
› Lower the vehicle.›Tighten the opposite wheel bolts alternately (cross-wise) with the wheel
wrench. Tighten the anti-theft wheel bolt last.›
Replace the wheel trim or the caps.
When fitting unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of rotation is cor-
rect » page 164 .
WARNING■
Undo the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) until the vehicle has
been jacked up. Otherwise the wheel could become loose and fall off.■
All bolts must be clean and must turn easily.
■
If it is established when changing a wheel that the wheel bolts are corro-
ded and difficult to move, then these must be replaced.
■
Under no circumstances grease or oil the wheel bolts!
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, the following work should be carried out.
›
Stow and attach the replaced wheel in the spare wheel well using a special
screw » page 169 , Reserve and temporary spare wheel .
›
Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the strap.
›
Check the tyre pressure on the installed spare wheel as soon as possible.
›
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked with a torque
wrench as soon as possible.
After changing the wheel, the tyre pressure should be adjusted. In vehicles
with tyre pressure monitoring tyre pressure values are to be stored » page 127.
Change the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about repair possi-
bilities.
WARNINGInformation on the wheel bolts■The prescribed tightening torque of the wheel bolts for steel and light al-
loy wheels is 120 Nm.■
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a too low tightening torque, the rim
can come loose when the car is moving. A tightening torque which is too
high can damage the bolts and threads and this can result in permanent
deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim.
171Emergency equipment, and self-help
WARNING (Continued)■In case of incorrect treatment of the wheel bolts, the wheel can loosen
when the car is moving.■
Drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed until the tightening torque
has been checked.

Changing a wheel: Loosening the
wheel bolts
Before removing the wheel bolts the caps from the wheel bolts must be re-
moved.
Undoing
›
Push the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt as far as the stop 1)
.
›
Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt about one turn in the direction
of the arrow » Fig. 161.
Tightening
›
Push the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt as far as the stop 1)
.
›
Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt against the direction of the
arrow » Fig. 161 until it is tight.
After tightening the wheel bolts the caps must be re-fit.
WARNINGIf it proves difficult to undo the bolts, carefully apply pressure to the end of
the wrench with your foot. Keep hold of the vehicle when doing so, and
make sure you keep your footing.Raising the vehicleFig. 162
Jacking points for positioning
lifting jack
Fig. 163
Attach lifting jack
To lift the vehicle, us the jack from the tool kit.
Position the car jack at the jacking point closest to the flat tyre.
The jacking points are located on the metal bar of the lower beam.
The positions of these are embossed by means of markings on the side sur-
face of the lower sill » Fig. 162.
›
Support the base plate of the jack with its full area resting on level ground
and ensure that the jack is located in a vertical position at the jacking point
» Fig. 163 -
.
›
Position the lifting jack below the jacking point with the crank and move it up
until its claw encloses the web » Fig. 163 -
.
›
Continue turning up the jack until the wheel is just about lifted off the
ground.
1)
Use the appropriate adapter for undoing and tightening the anti-theft wheel bolts
