Information

For vehicles with Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM):

Every new set of wheels or wheel change must be communicated to the control unit. Even if the new wheels have the same specifications as the old ones.
To do this, select TPM, Settings, Tyre type and Tyre size in the main menu on the instrument cluster and confirm your selection. The control unit stores these values while the vehicle is driving (at more than 25 km/h (16 mph)). The current tyre pressure is not available during this time.
For information on teaching the TPM system, see
> 4X00IN - GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPM)

Information

The use of power tools (impact bolter) for loosening and securing the wheel bolts is not permitted.

Information

The wheel bolts/security wheel bolts (thread and all surfaces) must not be greased!

Clean wheel contact surfaces on the wheel hub and brake disc.
Grease the wheel centering surfaces on the wheel hub -Arrows- with a very thin coat of Optimoly TA (aluminium paste). The wheel contact surface on the brake disc -1- and on the wheel itself must not be greased!
