Diagra
mshowing tire rotation for single and dual
tires
Single tires: if the tires are of identical
dimensions, you can rotate both wheels on
both the front and rear axles so that the tires'
original direction of rotation is maintained. On
unidirectional tires, an arrow on the sidewall
shows the prescribed direction of rotation of
the tire.
Twin rear tires: if the tires are of identical
dimensions, you can rotate the wheels on the
front axle and the inner wheels on the rear
axle in pairs such that the original direction of
tire rotation is retained. With unidirectional
tires, you may rotate the outside wheels at
the rear axle from one side to the other. Direction of rotation
Tires with a specified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk
of hydroplaning. You will only gain these
benefits if the correct direction of rotation is
observed.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates
its correct direction of rotation.
You may mount a spare wheel against the
direction of rotation. Observe the time
restriction on use as well as the speed
limitation specified on the spare wheel. Storing wheels
Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protect the
tires from contact with oil, grease and fuel. Mounting

Vehicle preparation X
Stop the vehicle as far away as possible
from traffic and on a level, firm and non-slip
surface.
X If you rvehicle poses a risk to approaching
traffic, switch on the hazard warning lamps.
X Apply the parking brake.
X Turn the fron twheels to the straight-ahead
position.
X Move the selector lever of the automatic
transmission to position P.
X Switch off the engine.
X Passengers should leave the vehicle. Make
sure that the passengers are not
endangered as they do so.
X Make sure that no one is near the danger
area while the wheel is being changed.
Anyone who is not directly assisting in the
wheel change should, for example, stand
behind the barrier.
X Place the warning triangle or warning lamp
at a suitable distance.
Observe legal requirements.
X Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling
away.
i Observe the safety notes on parking in the
section on "Driving and parking"
(Y page 145).
X On level terrain: place chocks or other
suitable objects under the front and rear of
the wheel that is diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
X On slight inclines: place chocks or other
suitable objects under the wheels on the
front and rear axles opposite the wheel to
be changed. Changing wheels

(Y page 264).
X Remove the spare wheel from the spare
wheel bracket (Y page 309). Observe the
safety notes in the "Spare wheel" section
(Y page 308).
X On wheels with wheel bolts, remove the
hub caps. X
Assemble the lug wrench extension using
the middle rod and the rod with the largest
diameter from the three-piece jack pump
lever.
X Starting with the middle rod, slide the lug
wrench extension as far as it will go onto
the lug wrench.
X Using lug wrench 0005, loosen the wheel
bolts/wheel nuts on the wheel to be
changed by about one full turn. Do not
unscrew the wheel bolts/nuts completely.
Raising the vehicle G
WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate
jacking point of the vehicle. The base of the
jack must be positioned vertically, directly
under the jacking point of the vehicle. G
WARNING
On uphill and downhill slopes, the jack could
tip over with the vehicle raised. There is a risk
of injury.
Do not change wheels on uphill or downhill
gradients. Notify a qualified specialist
workshop.
! Only position the jack on the jacking
points intended for this purpose. You could
otherwise damage the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the
vehicle:
R When raising the vehicle, only use the jack
specifically approved for your vehicle.
R the vehicle's jack is intended only to raise
the vehicle for a short time when changing
a wheel. It is not suited for performing
maintenance work under the vehicle.
R avoid changing the wheel on uphill and
downhill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, secure it from
rolling away by applying the parking brake
and inserting wheel chocks. Never
disengage the parking brake while the
vehicle is raised.
R the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a
large, load-bearing underlay must be used.
On a slippery surface, a non-slip underlay
must be used, e.g. rubber mats.
R make sure the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does
not exceed 1.2 inches (3 cm).
R never place your hands or feet under the
raised vehicle.
R never lie under the raised vehicle.
R never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
R never open or close a door when the vehicle
is raised.
R make sure that no persons are present in
the vehicle when the vehicle is raised. 304
