Inserting compact wheel
2.
Guide the jack head into the rectangular
recess of the jacking point when cranking
up, refer to drawing inset.
The compact wheel is reinserted in the reverse
sequence of its removal.
When attaching the retaining strap to the
compact wheel, make sure the belt is
threaded through 2 rim openings, with one
unoccupied hole between them; otherwise, the
compact wheel could come loose in an acci-
dent.<
Preparing wheel change
1.
Observe the safety precautions on
page 117.
3.
Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are
changing is raised from the ground.
2.
Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling:
Place the wheel chock behind the front
wheel on the side of the vehicle opposite
the side being raised. If the vehicle is parked
on a downward slope, place the wheel
chock securely in front of this wheel. If the
road surface is steeply inclined, take addi-
tional preventive steps to stop the vehicle
from rolling.
Mounting a wheel
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. Clean the lug bolts.
3.
Position the new wheel or compact wheel.
Secure the wheel by screwing at least two
lug bolts into opposite bolt holes. When you
mount wheels other than Genuine BMW
light-alloy wheels, different lug bolts may
also be required.
3.
Loosen the wheel lugs by a half turn.
Jacking up vehicle
1.
Position the vehicle jack at the jacking point
closest to the wheel so that the entire sur-
face of the jack base perpendicularly con-
tacts the ground under the jacking point.
4.
5.
Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Tighten all
the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not attempt
to raise another vehicle model with it or to
raise any load of any kind. To do so could
cause accidents and personal injury.<
Lower the jack and remove it from beneath
the vehicle.
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. The tightening torque is
101
lb ft/140 Nm.<
2.
3.
Stow the defective wheel in the cargo area.
Check and correct the tire inflation pressure
at the earliest opportunity.
