The essentials
The anti-theft wheel bolt has a diff er
ent
cap . This cap only fits on anti-theft locking
bolts and is not for use with standard wheel
bolts.
Important information about wheel bolts
Factory-fitted rims and wheel bolts are spe-
cially matched during construction. There-
fore, if different rims are fitted, the correct
wheel bolts with the right length and heads
must be used. This ensures that wheels are
fitted securely and that the brake system
functions correctly.
In certain circumstances, you should not even
use wheel bolts from vehicles of the same
model.
In wheels with full hubcaps, the anti-theft
locking bolt must be threaded onto positions

The essentials
Tyres with compulsory direction of
r ot
ation A directional tread pattern can be identified
by the arro
ws on the side
wall that point in the
direction of rotation. Always observe the di-
rection of rotation indicated when fitting the
wheel to guarantee optimum properties of
this type of tyres with regard to grip, noises,
wear and aquaplaning.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit the spare
tyre* against the direction of rotation, drive
with care as this means the tyre does not of-
fer optimum driving properties. This is of par-
ticular importance when the road surface is
wet.
To return to directional tread tires, replace the
punctured tyre as soon as possible and re-
store the obligatory direction of rotation of all
tyres.
