• The tread depth of new tyres can vary due to construction and
design features, and depending on version and manufactures.
• Check tyres for damage from time to time (cuts, splits, cracks and
lumps) and remove any foreign bodies embedded in the treads.
• To avoid damage to tyres and wheels drive over curbs and similar
obstacles very slowly and as nearly at right angles as possible.
• Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
• Replace missing dust caps as soon as possible.
• Mark wheels before taking them off so that they rotate in the
same direction when put back on again.
• When taken off, the tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and
preferably dark place.
Tyres which are not on wheels should be stored in a vertical
position.N No

It is imperative that the designated direction of rotation for tyre treads
(which can be determined from the arrow on the side of the tyre) be kept to.
The best tyre performance i.e. in aquaplaning, road adhesion, noise and
wear is then guaranteed.

• Depressions under vehicle for jack:
– Depressions in the side member at front and rear indicate the
points at which the claw of jack must be fitted to the vertical rib of
the side member
⇒arrows,fig. 177.
– Wind jack arm up by turning the crank in the spindle until the
jack just goes under the vehicle.
– The claw of the jack must fit round the vertical rib on the side
member so that the jack cannot slip when vehicle is lifted
⇒
fig. 178.– If the ground is soft, place a large strong piece of packing under
the jack base plate.
– Align jack and at same time wind claw up further until it contacts
the vehicle.
– Lift vehicle until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
K
Removing and fitting the wheel
– Remove the wheel bolts, place them on a clean surface (hub cap,
cloth) next to the jack and take the wheel off.
– Fit spare wheel and lightly tighten all bolts. The wheel bolts must
be clean and easy to turn – do not under any circumstances use
grease or oil!
– Lower vehicle and fully tighten bolts in diagonal sequence.
– Refit the wheel trim.
– Place and secure the defective wheel in the spare wheel bracket

It is not recommended to tow start a vehicle. We recommend the use of
another vehicle’s battery. Check the "Start up help" chapter.
There are various reasons why a vehicle should n no

• When towing there is a danger of colliding with the towed
vehicle.

, the following
points must be noted in addition to the details on the previous
page:
• Selector lever at “N N
”.
• Do not have the vehicle towed faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Do not tow further than 30 miles (50 kilometres).
If the vehicle has to be towed long distances it must be lifted at the
front.
Reason: When the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump is
not working and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for high
speeds or long distances.
• With a breakdown vehicle the vehicle may only be suspended at
the front.
Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, the drive shafts turn
backwards. The planetary gears in the automatic gearbox then turn
at such high speeds that the gearbox will be severely damaged in
a short time.
