Locking Wheel Nut Location

Post by Christurbo » Sat Mar 04, 2017 3:26 pm

Hi guys. Before I call my dealer where is the locking wheel nut kept? I can't see any recess for it under the boot floor. I've checked under the section that the emergency inflators and jack is kept. Thanks.

There is an additional compartment nearest the rear seats, lift out the spare wheel section & you will see it, it lifts up, everything should be in there.

I've checked inside the black compartment that flips open and all that is in there is a container with sealant and the inflation kit?

The boot floor is divided into 2 sections. You have the main one open and there is a smaller 2nd section which lifts up closer to the rear seats - above the top of your picture. Under that 2nd section is the tool kit and hopefully your locking wheel nut. See page 179 of the User Manual.

It's the floor panel behind the one you have pictured
Bit stiff to pull up
