Raise vehicle You have to raise the vehicle with the lifting jack* in order to be able to take off the wheel.Position the lifting jack* by selecting the jacking point which is closest to the wheel to be removed
⇒
fig. 228
. The jacking point is located directly
below the engraving in the lower sill. The engraving is only visible after opening the door. – Position the lifting jack* below the jacking point and move it up until
its claw is positioned di
rectly 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 base plate is resting flat on the floor.
– Turn the lifting jack* up further until the wheel is just clear of the
ground.
Ground which is soft and slippery
below the lifting jack* can cause the vehicle to
slip off the lifting jack*. It is therefore al
ways necessary to place the lifting jack* on
a solid surface or use a wide and stable ba
se. 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
•

•
Take suitable measures to prevent the
base of the lifting jack from slip-
ping off - risk of injury!•
Not positioning the lifting jack* at
the specified points can result in
damage to the vehicle. The lifting jack* ca
n also slip off if it does not have
sufficient grip - risk of injury!•
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.

of the safety wheel bolt right down in such a way that only the outer hexagon is jutting out
