CAUTION■Use the pressure of your hand only, do not strike the full wheel trim. The
cover could be damaged.■
If wheel trims are fitted, an adequate flow of air must be assured in order to
cool the brake system.
Note
We recommend that you use child seats from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Wheel bolts
Fig. 199
Remove the cap
Before removing the wheel bolts, remove the caps.
Extracting
›
Push the extraction pliers » page 212 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. 199.
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 wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (alter-
nating crosswise). 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 206 .
WARNING■
Undo the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) as long as the vehicle
has not yet 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!
Follow-up tasks
After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Stow and attach the replaced wheel in the spare wheel well using a special
bolt » page 213 .
›
Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.
›
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 must be adjusted. In vehicles with
tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved » page 167.
Replace the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about repair op-
tions.
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.
215Emergency 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, remove the wheel bolt caps.
Release
›
Push the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt to the stop 1)
.
›
Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt about one turn in the direction
of the arrow » Fig. 200.
Tightening
›
Push the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt to the stop 1)
.
›
Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt against the direction of the
arrow » Fig. 200 , until it is tight.
After tightening the wheel bolts, replace the caps.
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. 201
Jacking points for the jack Version 1/version 2
Fig. 202
Schematic diagram: Positioning the jack
The jack from the vehicle tool kit must be used in order to raise the vehicle.
Position the car jack at the jacking point closest to the flat tyre .
Jacking points – version 1
The jacking points are located on the metal bar of the lower beam.
Their positions are indicated by embossed markings
A
» Fig. 201 in the side of
the lower beam.
Jacking points – version 2
The mounting points are located on the metal bar of the lower beam in the re-
cess at the bottom of the plastic lower-beam casing
