Inflating the deflated full size
spare tire
• Remove the dust cap from the valve (1 l
by unscrewing it.
• Take the pressure compressor hose out
of the case, and screw the coupling nut se­
curely onto the valve.
• Insert the compressor· connector in to
the socket located on the side of the lug­
gage compartment or inset it ino the ciga­
rette lighter socket -see page 181.
272 •
Turn on the compressor. The required tire
pressure wil be reached within a few min­
utes. Use a pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure. Never operate the compressor
for longer than 5 minutes.
Note
Yo u'll find adhesive labels on the deflated
full size spare tire containing i nstn .1ctions for
using the tire as well as information on the
specified tire pressure.
Step S
• Un screw the pressure hose from the val­
ve and screw the dust cap back on.
• To lower the vehicle, turn the handle
counter-clockwise until the jack is fully re­
leased. Remove jack.
• Then go crosswise from one bolt to
another tightening them firmly.
• If necessary, press the hubcap back onto
the hub of the spare wheel. Step
9
• Slip the plastic cover over the wheel con­
taining the flat tire. Then stow this wheel in
the luggage comopartment and secure it so
that it does not shift.
• Carefully observe the points on
page 288 when using the deflated
full size spare tire.
Notes
• The hex socket in the screwdriver can be
used to make it easier to handle the wheel
bolts. To do this, pull out the revers ible bla-
de. ·
Never use this plastic tool to loosen
or tighten the wheel bolts.
After you change a tire:
• Deactivating the jack moda -see
page 268.
• Use a torque wrench to check the
wheel bolt tightening torque as
soon as possible. With alloy wheels
and a deflated full size spare tire, the
torque should be 88.5 ft-lb (120
Nm).

•
Be sure to check the tire pressure
as quickly as possible after you
install a wheal that is fitted with
new tires.
If you notice while changing a tire
that the wheal bolts are corroded
and difficult to turn, then they
should be replaced before you
check the tightening torque.
Until then, drive with extra care and
at reduced speeds. m
WARNING
• If you are going to equip your ve­
hicle with tires or rims which dif­
fer from those which were factory
installed, then be sure to read the
information on page 257.
• Always store damaged wheel,
jack and tools securely in luggage
compartment. DO-IT-YO
