Notes
When
a wheel has been changed, the
tyre pressure in the wheel which has
been
fitted
and the tightening torque of
the wheel bolts should be checked as
soon
as possible. Use a torque spanner
for the bolts. The torque for the wheels
supplied
by the factory is 170 Nm (17
kgm).
Caution
The
jack
supplied by the
factory
is
only
designed to
lift
your
vehicle
model. On
no account should
heavier
vehicles or
other
loads be
lifted.
Do not
work
un-
der the
vehicle
when
it is on the
jack.
If the
vehicle
is to be subsequently
fitted
with
wheels
or
tyres
which
differ
from
those
fitted
by the
factory,
it is
essential
to
read
the
remarks
on
page
