Removing and Fitting Wheel Covers
Removing wheel covers
Removing the wheel cover
The wheel cover protects the wheel bolts and must be fitted again after changing the wheel.
- Take the hook from the vehicle toolkit.
- Insert the puller into one of the holes in the wheel cover.
- Use the puller to pull off the wheel cover in the direction of the arrow. If necessary, use a box spanner to do this.
Fitting wheel covers
Press the wheel cover onto the wheel rim so that the valve hole is located over the tyre valve. Please ensure the cover engages securely all the way round.
WARNING
Using unsuitable hubcaps, or fitting them incorrectly, can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can become loose while the vehicle is in motion and endanger other road users.
- Do not use damaged hubcaps.
- Check that the wheel cover has engaged securely around the entire circumference.
WARNING
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can interrupt or reduce the air supply for cooling the brakes. This also applies if hubcaps are retrofitted. If the airflow is not sufficient, the braking distance could increase significantly.
This can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.
- Check that the wheel cover has engaged securely.
NOTICE
The wheel cover may be bolted on and can be damaged if it is pulled off.
- Do not use force to pull off wheel covers that are bolted on.
