Coupe: center the wheel and cover relative
to the lashing eyes 5.
Convertible: slide the wheel as far as possi-
ble to the left and to the rear.
1.
Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel.
2.
Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from
the mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub. Also clean the lug bolts.
Coupe: hook the belt into the lashing eyes 5
and lay it in the belt guide which runs in the
center of the lid.
3.
Position the new wheel or spare wheel.
Secure the wheel by screwing at least two
lug bolts into opposite bolt holes.

5.
Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Tighten all
the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.
Lower the vehicle and remove the jack from

After mounting
1.
Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.
To ensure safety, always have the
lug bolts checked with a calibrated
torque wrench as soon as possible to
ensure that they are tightened to the speci-
fied torque. Otherwise, incorrectly tight-
ened lug bolts are a hidden safety risk. The
tightening torque is 88.5 lb ft/120 Nm.<
2.
Check and correct the tire inflation pressure
at the earliest opportunity.
Protect valve stems with valve stem
seal caps against dirt and contamina-
tion. Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source
of gradual air loss.<

Replace the damaged tire as soon as possi-
ble and have the new wheel/tire balanced.
Driving with spare wheel
Stowing wheel and tools
With certain wheel-and-tire combinations

that of the other wheels. The spare wheel is
equivalent to them in all load and speed ranges.
However, to restore the original state, the nor-
