Slackening and tightening wheel bolts
Slacken the wheel bolts befo re jacking up the vehicle.Slackening wheel bolts– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the wheel bolt 
14).
– Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt about  one turn to the left  fig. 150 .
Tightening wheel bolts– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the wheel bolt 
14).
– 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 (abo ut 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 e nd of the wrench if  it prove s d iff icult 
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.– Position the lifting jack by selecting the ja cking point - engraving in the lower sill - 
which is closest to the wheel to be removed  fig. 151 .
– Position the lifting jack below the jacking  point and move it up until its claw is posi-
tioned directly below the vertical web of the lower sill.
– Align the lifting jack so that its claw grasps the vertical web on the engraving of the  lower sill   and the bottom ba se plate of the lifting jack   is resting flat with its 
complete surface against firm ground.
– 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!
Place the lifting ja ck only on a solid and even surface.
