WARNING

■

Always properly secure the fire extinguisher, there is a risk of injury in the

event of sudden braking or a vehicle collision.

The factory-supplied lifting jack is only intended for your model of vehi-

cle. Under no circumstances attempt to lift other vehicles or loads with this

– there is a risk of injury.

■

Always place the tool securely into the recesses in the storage compart-

ment in the emergency or spare wheel area, or in the pocket. This is stored

in the luggage compartment.

CAUTION

Screw the jack back to its starting position prior to putting it back in its box -

otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the box.

Note

The declaration of conformity is included with the jack or the log folder.

Changing a wheel

Preliminary work

Fig. 313 Vehicle tool kit

For safety's sake, the following instructions must be observed before

changing a wheel on the road.

The box with the tool is located in the emergency or spare wheel area. The ve-

hicle tool kit may be stored in a bag in the luggage compartment.

As far as possible, park the vehicle far away from the traffic flow - find a

›

place with a flat and firm surface.

Switch off the engine.

For vehicles with manual transmission, select 1st gear.

For vehicles with automatic transmission, place the selector lever in the P

position.

Switch on the parking brake.

Position the hazard warning system and the warning triangle at the prescri-

bed distance.

All the occupants should get out of the vehicle. The passengers should not

stand on the road (instead they should remain behind a crash barrier, for in-

stance) while the wheel is being changed.

Uncouple any trailers.

Depending on the vehicle configuration, it may not contain all the compo-

nents listed in the on-board tool kit.

Emergency equipment and self-help

Jack up the vehicle» page 280 until the wheel that needs changing is clear of

the ground.

Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,

etc.).

Remove the wheel carefully.

Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.

Lower the vehicle.

›

WARNING

A tightening torque which is too high can damage the bolts and threads

and this can result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on

the rim. Too low tightening torque, the wheels may fall off while driving -

risk of an accident. Therefore, drive cautiously and only at a moderate

speed until the tightening torque has been checked.

›

Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“alter-

nating crosswise”)» page 280.

Removing/stowing the emergency or spare wheel

Replace the wheel trim » page 279and the caps » page 279.

›

When fitting a wheel with a unidirectional tyre, ensure that the direction of ro-

tation is correct » page 272.

All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If the screws are corroded and

difficult to move, then these must be replaced.

WARNING

■

Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn) while the vehicle is not

jacked up. Otherwise, the wheel could come off and fall down – there is a

risk of injury.

Under no circumstances grease or oil the wheel bolts - risk of accident!

sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.  Do not drive the vehicle!

Seek help from a specialist garage.

■

The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on

the engine compartment » page 264.

When handling the vehicle battery, the following warnings must be ob-

served » page 269.

A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just be-

low 0 °C. If the battery is frozen, do not carry out a jump start with the bat-

tery of another vehicle – risk of explosion!

Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an acid level that is too low – risk

of explosion and caustic burns!

The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is be-

■

ing inflated – risk of burning.

■

CAUTION

Switch off the air compressor at the latest after the running time according to

the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer has elapsed – otherwise there is

the risk of compressor damage! Allow the air compressor to cool a few mi-

nutes before switching it on again.

WARNING

 Read and observe on page 283 first.

A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard

tyre. The following guidelines must be observed.

If it is not possible to start the engine due to a discharged vehicle battery, the

battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. Only use jump-start

cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insulated terminal

clamps.

■

Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).

■

Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.

The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12V. The capacity (Ah) of the

current-giving battery must not be significantly less than the capacity of the

discharged battery in your vehicle.

Conditions for towing.

The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery

must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehi-

cle – risk of short circuit!

Route the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts in

the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-

age.



Cars with automatic gearboxes must not be towed with the rear wheels

raised - there is a risk of gearbox damage!

If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle

raised clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer.

■



The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.

The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer

if it is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the tow-
