In order to avoid loosing a wheel and in order to re-
duce the risk of fatal or serious injuries or vehicle
damage, please follow these safety instructions:
• Always replace wheel bolts that are damaged or
rusted.
• Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.
• If a wheel hub thread is damaged, you must not
drive the vehicle. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop.
• Only use genuine wheel bolts approved from the
vehicle manufacturer and specified for your
vehicle’s rims. Check tightness of wheel bolts or
nuts regularly and retighten with a torque wrench,
if necessary. Tighten wheel bolts or nuts in a cross-
pattern sequence. After changing a wheel, the
wheel bolts or nuts must be tightened once the
vehicle has been driven for about 30 miles (50 km).
If new or repainted wheels are fitted, the wheel
bolts or nuts must be retightened again after about
600 to 3000 miles (about 1000 to 5000 km).
