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

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

WARNING
If you tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is raised, the jack could tip
over. There is a risk of injury.
Only tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is on the ground.
Always observe the instructions and safety
notes on "Changing a wheel" (Y page 302).
Only use wheel bolts or wheel nuts that have
been designed for the wheel and the vehicle.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you
only use wheel bolts or wheel nuts which have
been approved for Sprinter vehicles and the
respective wheel.
! For a steel wheel, only use the short wheel
bolts to mount the steel spare wheel. Using
other wheel bolts to mount the steel spare
wheel could damage the brake system.
! On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure
monitor, electronic components are
located in the wheel.
Tire-mounting tools should not be used
near the valve. This could damage the
electronic components.
Only have tires changed at a qualified
specialist workshop. 0005
