2. Press the wheel cover onto the wheel rim so that the valve hole is located over the tyre valve. Please ensure the cover engages
securely all the way round.
WARNING
Using unsuitable hubcaps, or fitting them incorrectly, can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can become loose while the vehicle is in motion and endanger other road users.
● Do not use damaged hubcaps.
● Check that the wheel cover has engaged securely around the entire circumference.
WARNING
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can interrupt or reduce the air supply for cooling the brakes. This also applies if hubcaps are retrofitted. If
the airflow is not sufficient, the braking distance could increase significantly.
This can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.
● Check that the cutout for the tyre valve in the wheel cover is located in the correct position.
● Check that the wheel cover has engaged securely around the entire circumference.
NOTICE
The wheel cover may be bolted on and can be damaged if it is pulled off.
● Do not use force to pull off wheel covers that are bolted on.
Removing the caps
Removing the wheel bolt caps.
The caps protect the wheel bolts and should be fitted fully back in position after changing the wheel.
1. Take the hook from the vehicle toolkit (→ Vehicle toolkit).
2. Insert the hook through the opening in the cap.
3. Use the hook to pull off the cap in the direction of the arrow → Fig. 1.
Fitting the caps
1. Press the caps onto the bolts as far as they will go.
The anti-theft wheel bolt has a separate cap. This cap only fits onto the anti-theft wheel bolt and not onto the conventional wheel
bolts.
