Cupra TERRAMAR 2024 - Tyres with Directional Tread Pattern; Works after Changing a Wheel

Wheels and tyres
●
Place the spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel into position.
●
Screw in the wheel bolts and tighten them a
little with the wheel wrench.
●
Use the appropriate adapter to tighten the
anti-theft wheel bolts.
●
Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack.
●
Use the wheel spanner to tighten all of the
wheel nuts clockwise. Tighten the bolts in di-
agonal pairs (not in a circle).
●
Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on.
Fitting the minimised spare wheel (depend-
ing on the version)
For technical reasons (brake disc size), it may
not be possible to t the minimised spare
wheel on the front axle.
In the event of a puncture or damage to a front
tyre, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the rear wheel on the same side
as the damaged front wheel.
2. Fit the minimised spare wheel on the rear
axle.
3. Replace the damaged front wheel with the
removed rear wheel.
If necessary, check that the tyre pressures are
correct as soon as possible.
Tightening torque of the wheel nuts
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 140 Nm.
After changing a wheel, have the tightening
torque checked immediately with a torque
wrench that is working perfectly.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before tting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
ces. These surfaces must be clean before t-
ting the wheel.
Before checking tightening torque, have any
rusty wheel bolts that are diicult to screw re-
placed and clean the wheel hub threads.
Never apply grease or oil to wheel bolts or to
the wheel hub threads. Even if the bolts have
been tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
Tyres with directional tread pattern have been
designed to operate best when rotating in only
one direction. An arrow on the tyre sidewall
indicates the direction of rotation on tyres with
directional tread. Always observe the indicated
direction of rotation in order to guarantee op-
timum grip and help avoid aquaplaning, exces-
sive noise and wear.
If the tyre is mounted in the opposite direction
of rotation, drive with extreme caution, as the
tyre is no longer being used correctly. This is of
particular importance when the road surface is
wet. Change the tyre as soon as possible or re-
mount it with the correct direction of rotation.
Works after changing a wheel
●
Replace the hub caps or wheel bolt caps (de-
pending on equipment).
●
Return all tools to their proper storing loca-
tion.
●
If the replaced wheel does not t in the spare
wheel housing, store it safely in the luggage
compartment ›››page312.
●
Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted tyre as soon as possible.
●
In vehicles tted with a tyre pressure indica-
tor, adjust the pressure and store it in memory
›››page383.
●
Have the tightening torque of the wheel nuts
checked as soon as possible with a torque
wrench ›››page381. Meanwhile, drive care-
fully.
●
Have the at tyre replaced as quickly as pos-
sible.
