Breakdown assistance
172Note
Apply pressure carefully with your foot to the end of the wrench* if it proves difficult
to slacken the bolts. Hold tight on the vehicl e when doing this and ensure that you have
a steady position.Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with the lifting jack* in order to be able to
take off the wheel.Place the jack* under the vehicle. Recesses are located at the lower sill (front and rear)
 fig. 164 . There is a point under the recess wher e the lifting jack* can be positioned,
see arrows fig. 164 .
– 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.
– Position the lifting jack* so that the claw grasps the web of the lower sill and the
moving base plate of the lifting jack is resting flat against the floor.
– Turn the lifting jack* up further until 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 therefore always necessary to place the lifting jack* on a solid surface
or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-sl ip 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 ba se of the lifting jack from slipping
off - risk of injury!

Not positioning the lifting jack* at the specified points can result in damage
to the vehicle. The jack can al so 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 sl ackening 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 fu lly into the inner toothing of the safety
wheel bolt right down in such a way that only the outer hexagon is jutting out
 fig. 165 .
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the adapter .
– Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly page 171.
– Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter or place the cap onto the safety wheel bolt.
