Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a diagonal

pattern in the order indicated 1 to 5 with a

maximum of 80 Nm.

Then tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a diago-

nal pattern in the order indicated 1 to 5 to

the specied tightening torque of 150 Nm.

WARNING Risk of accident due to incor-

rect tightening torque

The wheels could come loose if the wheel

bolts or wheel nuts are not tightened to the

prescribed torque.

Ensure that the wheel bolts or wheel

nuts are tightened to the prescribed

tightening torque.

If you are not sure, do not move the vehi-

cle. Contact a qualied specialist work-

shop and have the tightening torque

checked immediately.

Check the tyre pressure of the newly mounted

wheel and adjust accordingly.

The following does not apply if the new wheel

is an emergency spare wheel.

Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-

tem: restart the tyre pressure monitoring sys-

tem (/ page 685).

To prevent hazardous situations:

Drive carefully.

Never t more than one emergency

spare wheel or spare wheel that diers

in size.

Only use an emergency spare wheel or

Observe the following notes on tting an emer-

gency spare wheel:

The maximum permissible speed with an

emergency spare wheel tted is 80 km/h.

Do not t the emergency spare wheel with

snow chains.

Replace the emergency spare wheel aer six

years at the latest, regardless of wear.

Use the included wheel bolts for the emer-

gency spare wheel.

Check the tyre pressure of the emergency

spare wheel when tted. Correct the pressure

as necessary.

The specied tyre pressure is stated on the

label of the emergency spare wheel.

Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-

tem: if an emergency spare wheel is tted, the

tyre pressure monitoring system cannot func-

tion reliably. For a few minutes aer an emer-

gency spare wheel is tted, the system may

still display the tyre pressure of the removed

wheel. Only restart the system when the

emergency spare wheel has been replaced

with a new wheel.
