Removing a Road Wheel
WARNINGS
Park your vehicle so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic or place
yourself in any danger and set up a
warning triangle. Switch the ignition off and apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, shift into first or reverse
gear. If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, shift into park (P). Make sure all passengers are out of
your vehicle.
Make sure that your vehicle is on firm
and level ground with the front
wheels pointing straight ahead. WARNINGS
Chock the diagonally opposite wheel
to the punctured tire with an
appropriate block or wheel chock. A
wheel chock may be located in the B-pillar
or in a storage compartment in the front
right-hand side stepwell. Make sure that the arrows on
directional tires point in the direction
of rotation when your vehicle is
moving forward. If you have to fit a spare
tire with the arrows pointing in the opposite
direction have the tire refitted as soon as
possible. 1. Insert the flat end of the lug wrench
between the wheel rim and the wheel
trim and carefully remove the wheel
trim.
2. Use the locking lug nut key to loosen the locking lug nut.
3. Loosen the remaining lug nuts, but do not remove them.
4. Raise your vehicle until the tire is clear of the ground.
5. Remove the lug nuts and the road wheel.
Note: Do not lay alloy road wheels face
down on the ground.
Installing a Road Wheel WARNINGS
Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other wheel and tire sizes
could damage your vehicle and will
make the National Type Approval invalid. Make sure there is no lubrication
(grease or oil) on the threads or the
surface between the wheel lugs and
nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to loosen
while driving.

use on a steel spare wheel.
Note: If the spare wheel is not the same
type and size as your vehicle road wheel
replace it as soon as possible.
Note: Check the lug nuts for correct
tightness and check the tire pressure as
soon as possible. See Technical
Specifications (page 264).
Stowing the Wheel and Vehicle

When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control. Ib-ft (Nm)
