off/ putting on the wheel
Fig. 236 Wheel: Hexagonal socket for turning wheel bolts
Fig. 237 Wheel: Mounting pin in wheel bolt hole nearest
to the top
Taking off the wheel
� Using the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle (provided in the vehicle's tool kit), un
screw the top wheel bolt and place it on a clean
surface ¢ Fig. 236.
� Screw in the mounting pin (provided in the ve
hicle's tool kit) by hand in place of the wheel
bolt ¢Fig. 2371
).
� Then
unscrew the other wheel bolts.
�Take off the wheel ¢(D. The mounting pin
stays where it is.
Putting on the wheel
When putting on a tyre with directional tread
pattern, refer to ¢page 275.
� Put on the wheel, using the mounting pin to
guide it into place ¢(D.
� Screw in the wheel bolts and tighten them
lightly using the hexagonal socket.

Applies to vehicles with ceramic brake discs*: Use a sec-
� and
mounting pin* (from the tool kit) for the bottom hole
8 following the same procedure as described for the first
� mounting
pin. Mobility
� Then unscrew the mounting pin and tighten the
remaining wheel bolt lightly.
� Carefully lower the car with the jack*.
� Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal sequence
with the box spanner.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily.
Before putting on the wheel, inspect the condi
tion of the wheel and hub mounting surfaces.
These surfaces must be clean before mounting
the wheel.
.&_ WARNING
Do not use the hexagonal socket in the screw
driver handle to tighten the wheel bolts. It is
not possible to tighten the bolts to the re
quired torque using the hexagonal socket -
risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
When removing/ fitting the wheel the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc/ceramic*
brake disc. For this reason, please take care
and get a second person to assist you.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
� Fit the hubcap or wheel bolt caps back on, as
required. ..,.
