Vehicle care161
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
For tyre size 215/60 R17, consult a
workshop.9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Wheel covers on steel wheels may
come into contact with parts of the
chains. In such cases, remove the
wheel covers.
Tyre chains may only be used at
speeds up to 30 mph and, when
travelling on roads that are free of
snow, they may only be used for brief
periods since they are subject to rapid wear on a hard road and may snap.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread or
sidewall can be repaired with the tyre
repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at tyre sidewall near the rim cannot
be repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If the vehicle has a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear or reverse gear.
The tyre repair kit is located under the
driver's seat. Vehicle tools 3 155.
1. Remove the compressor and sealant bottle from the tyre repairkit case.
2. Remove the electrical connection cable and air hose from the
compartments on the underside
of the compressor.
3. Screw the air hose to the connection on the sealant bottle.
4. Fit the sealant bottle into the retainer on the compressor.
Set the compressor near the tyre
in such a way that the sealant
bottle is upright.
5. Unscrew valve cap from defective
tyre.
164Vehicle care
Replace the used sealant bottle.Dispose of the sealant bottle as
prescribed by applicable laws.
Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 161.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-slippery surface. The front wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
■ Apply the parking brake and engage first gear or reverse gear.
■ Remove the spare wheel 3 165.
■ Never change more than one wheel
at a time.
■ Use the jack only to change wheels
in case of puncture, not for a
seasonal winter or summer tyre
change.
■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be placed
under the jack.■ Take heavy objects out of the vehicle before jacking up.
■ No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked-up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start the engine when the vehicle is raised on the jack.
1. Remove the wheel cover (using the hook supplied). Vehicle tools
3 155.
2. Loosen each of the wheel bolts by
half a turn using the wheel
wrench. Ensure the wrench
locates securely. The wrench
should turn anticlockwise to
loosen the bolts. Invert the wrench if necessary.
3. Place lifting pad spigot of the jack
under the jacking hole located
nearest the wheel concerned.
Ensure the jack is positioned
correctly. The jack base must be
on the ground directly below the
jacking hole in a manner that
prevents it from slipping.
4. Install wrench onto the jack and raise the vehicle by turning the
wrench until the wheel is clear of
the ground.
Vehicle care167Jump starting
Do not start with a quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged battery
can be started using jump leads and the vehicle battery of another vehicle.9 Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation
from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both
vehicles.
9 Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause
injuries and damage in the event
of direct contact.
■ Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.
■ A discharged vehicle battery canalready freeze at a temperature of
0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery
before connecting jump leads.
■ Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when handling a battery.
■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 volts). Its capacity(Ah) must not be much less than
that of the discharged battery.
■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at
least 16 mm 2
(25 mm 2
for diesel
engines).
■ Do not disconnect the discharged vehicle battery from the vehicle.
■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical
consumers.
■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
■ Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other
lead.
■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during thejump starting process.■ Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral.
■ Open the positive terminal protection caps of both batteries.
The battery is located in the engine
compartment.
Remove cover to access the battery.
