Slackening and tightening wheel bolts
Slacken the wheel bolts before jacking up the vehicle.
Slackening wheel bolts
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the wheel bolt 5).
– Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt about one turn to
the left ⇒fig. 159.
Tightening wheel bolts
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the wheel bolt 5).
– Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt to the right until it is
tight.
WARNING
Slacken the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) as long as the vehicle has not yet been jacked up - risk of an accident!.
Note
•apply pressure carefully with your foot to the end of the wheel wrench if it proves difficult to slacken the wheel bolts. Hold tight on the vehicle when doing this and ensure that you have a steady position.
Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with a lifting jack in order to be
able to take off the wheel.
– Position the lifting jack by select ing the jacking point - lower sill -
which is closest to the wheel to be removed ⇒fig. 160.5)Use the appropriate adapter for slackening and tightening the safety wheel bolts ⇒ page 228.

– Position the lifting jack below the jacking point and move it up until
its claw is positioned directly below the vertical web of the lower
sill.
– Align the lifting jack so that its claw grasps the web of the lower sill
and the moving base plate of the jack is resting flat against
firm ground.
– Turn the lifting jack up further unt il the wheel is just clear of the
ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. It is therefor e always necessary to place the lifting jack on a solid surface or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the surface is smooth, such as cobbled stones, a tiled floor, etc.
WARNING
•Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury.
•Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack from slipping off - risk of injury!
•Place the lifting jack only on a solid and even surface.
•Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result in damage to the vehicle. The jack can also slip off if it does not have suffi- cient grip - risk of injury!
•Never start the engine if the vehicl e is lifted - risk of accident.
•Never lie under the vehicle if the vehicle is only lifted with the vehicle lifting jack.
•It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if you wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!
Securing wheels against being stolen*
You need a special adapter for slackening the safety wheel
bolts.
– Pull off the full wheel trim/cap from the wheel hub or cap from the
safety wheel bolt.
– Insert the adapter with its toothed side fully into the inner
toothing of the safety wheel bolt right down in such a way that
only the outer hexagon is jutting out ⇒fig. 161.
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the adapter .
– Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly ⇒page 227.
– Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter
or place the cap onto the safety wheel bolt.
