8. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by
hand to initially tighten them.
Type 1:On vehicles with steel
wheelsTemporarily tighten the wheel
nuts by hand until the tapered parts of
the wheel nuts make light contact with
the seats of the wheel holes and the
wheel is not loose.Type 2:On vehicles with aluminium
wheelsTemporarily tighten the wheel
nuts by hand until the flange parts of
the wheel nuts make light contact with
the wheel and the wheel is not loose.
135)
NOTE If all 4 aluminium wheels are
changed to steel wheels. e. g. when
fitting winter tyres, use tapered nuts.
9. Put the notch (K) provided on the
jack handle end on the valve (L) of the
jack. Using the jack handle, turn the
release valve anticlockwise slowly to
lower the vehicle until the tyre touches
the ground.
272)
10. Tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or
3 steps until each nut has been
tightened securely.
Tightening torque
Steel wheel: 137 to 157 Nm Aluminium
wheel: 118 to 137 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force at the
end of the wheel nut wrench supplied
with the vehicle. Steel wheel: 510 to
580 N; Aluminium wheel: 440 to 500 N)

181)If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear tyres on the left hand side of
the vehicle and the front and rear tyres on
the right hand side of the vehicle separately.
Keep each tyre on its original side of the
vehicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure
the arrows point in the direction in which
the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves
forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full
potential.
182)Avoid the combined use of different
types of tyres. Using different types of tyres
can affect vehicle performance and safety.
183)If winter tyres with a lower speed
rating than that indicated in the Registration
Document are used, do not exceed the
maximum speed corresponding to the
speed rating of the tyres used.
184)Do not fit snow traction device (Tyre
chains) before you need them. This will
wear out your tyres and the road surface.
185)After driving around 100-300 metres,
stop and retighten the snow traction device
(Tyre chains).
186)Care should be taken with extremes of
steering lock to prevent possible contact
between the chains and the vehicle body.
187)Drive cautiously and do not exceed
50 km/h. Remember that preventing
accidents is not the purpose of snow
traction device (tyre chains).
188)When tyre chains are installed, take
care that they do not damage the disc
wheel or body.189)An aluminium wheel can be damaged
by a snow traction device (Tyre chains)
while driving. When fitting a snow traction
device (Tyre chains) on an aluminium wheel,
take care that any part of the snow traction
device (Tyre chains) and fitting cannot be
brought into contact with the wheel.
190)When installing or removing a tyre
chain, take care that hands and other parts
of your body are not injured by the sharp
edges of the vehicle body.
191)Install the chains only on the rear tyres
and tighten them as tightly as possible with
the ends securely fastened.
