change: using the
screwdriver handle
(with the blade
removed) to turn the
bolts
Fig. 192 Wheel
change: alignment pin
inside the top hole
After you have loosened all wheel bolts and jacked the vehicle
off the ground, perform the following steps to remove and
replace the wheel:
Removing the wheel
- Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle to
completely turn out the topmost wheel bolt and set it
aside on a
clean surface=> fig. 191. -
Screw the threaded end of the
alignment pin from the
tool kit hand-tight into the now vacant bolt hole
=> fig. 192.
- Then completely unscrew the other wheel bolts as
described above.
- Take off the wheel leaving the alignment pin in the bolt
hole=> &.
Putting on the spare
- Lift the spare wheel up and carefully slide it over the align­
ment pin to guide it in place.
- Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle to
screw in and tighten all wheel bolts
slightly.
Unscrew the alignment pin and insert and tighten the
remaining wheel bolt slightly like the rest.
- Turn the handle on the jack counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle until the jack is fully released.
- Use the wheel bolt wrench to tighten all wheel bolts firmly
=>
page 276. Tighten them crosswise, from one bolt to
the (approximately) opposite one, to keep the wheel
centered.
& WARNING
When removing or installing the wheel, the rim could hit the
brake rotor and damage the rotor. Work carefully and have a
second person help you.

• App lying a higher vo ltage booster battery will cause expens ive
damage to sens itive e lec tro nic components, such as contro l units,
re lays, rad io, etc.
• Th ere must be no electrical contact between the veh icles as othe r­
wise current could a lready sta rt to flow as soon as the posit ive(+)
term inals are con nected.
• Improperly connecte d jumper cables can cause substantial
damage to the e lectr ica l system of the vehicle .

General information of starting
assistance
Please observe that the procedure descr ibed below for connect ing
jumpe r cab les is intended to p rovide a ju mp s tart for your ve hicl e.
Make sure t hat the co nnected clamps have suff ic ient
metal contact.
Sta rt assistance differs for vehicles w ith a 4-cylinde r engine:
=> page 288, "Use of jumper cables"
Safety first
& WARNING
Improper handling of the jumper cables can lead to an explosion
of the battery and severe injurie s. To reduce the ri sk of injury, note
the following:
• The section s of the terminal clamps that are not insul ated
must not touch each other. In addition, the cable clamped to the
battery' s po sitive terminal must not come in contact with electri­
cally connected parts of the veh icle -danger of short circu it!
• Route the jumper cable so that it cannot catch in any rotating
parts in the engine compartment .
• Do not bend over the batteries -danger of chemical burns!
• The battery cell locking screws must be tightened securely.
• Keep ignition source s (open flame , burning cigarettes, etc.)

Lifting the vehicle
Important safety precautions
Be aware of the following hazards before lifting the vehicle with a
workshop hoist or floor jack:
• The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from underneath
the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, the front or rear axle
or the body side members. This could lead to serious damage.
• Use lifting equipment with padded contact surfaces to avoid
damage to the underbody or chassis frame.
• Alternatively, cover the contact surfaces on workshop hoist or
floor jack with rubber pads before lifting.
• Before driving over a workshop hoist, check that the vehicle
weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the hoist.
• Before driving over a workshop hoist, ensure that there is suffi­
cient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the vehicle.
& WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle damage:
• Always lift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated
~ fig. 203 and=> fig. 204.
• Failure to lift the vehicle at these points could cause the vehicle
to tilt or fall from a lift if there is a change in vehicle weight distri­
bution and balance. This might happen, for example, when heavy
components such as the engine block or transmission are removed.
• When removing such heavy components, anchor vehicle to
hoist or add corresponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist,
causing serious personal injury. •
Lifting with workshop hoist and with floor
jack
The vehicle may only be lifted at the lifting points illus­
trated.
