If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and
rear wheels.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be
necessary to reprogram the
speedometer and make other vehicle
modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced. 9
Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval. Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If
the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a beaded edge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
Remove the wheel covers if tyre
chains are to be installed. 9
Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents. Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always

use fine mesh chains that add
no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain
lock). 9
Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres
of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR 18

Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with
a tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel 3 179.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information: ■ Park
the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-skid surface. The front wheels
must be in the straight-ahead
position.
■ Apply the hand brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P.
■ Remove the spare wheel 3 183.
■ Never change more than one wheel at once.
■ Use the jack only to change wheels.
■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be placed
under the jack.
■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start the vehicle when it is raised on the jack. ■ Before screwing in the wheel bolts,
clean them and lightly coat the
taper of each wheel bolt with
commercially available grease. 1. Pull off the wheel cover with the
hook. Vehicle tools 3 173.
For wheel covers with visible
wheel

bolts: The cover can remain
on the wheel. Do not remove the
retaining rings on the wheel bolts.
Alloy wheels: Disengage wheel
bolt caps with a screwdriver and
remove. To protect the wheel,
place a soft cloth between the
screwdriver and the alloy wheel. 2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring
that it locates securely and
slacken each bolt by half a turn.

Vehicle care
■ Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when handling a battery.
■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 volts). Its capacity
(Ah) must not be much less than
that of the discharged battery.
■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at
least 16 mm 2
(25 mm 2
for diesel
engines).
■ Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.
■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.
■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
■ Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other
lead.
■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the
jump starting process.
■ Apply the handbrake, transmission in neutral, automatic transmission
in P. Lead connection order:
1.
Connect the red lead to thepositive terminal of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery.
3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle grounding point,
such as the engine block or an
engine mounting bolt. Connect as
far away from the discharged
battery as possible. Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.
To start the engine:
1.

Start the engine of the vehicleproviding the jump.
2. After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be
made for no longer than 15
seconds at an interval of 1 minute.
3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads
connected.
4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear
window) of the vehicle receiving
the jump start.
5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.
