Hints
When using run-flat tires or sealants, a tire
does not need to be changed immediately in
the event of pressure loss due to a flat tire.
Which is why no spare tire is available.
The tools for changing wheels are available as
accessories from your service center.

The jacking points for the vehicle jack are lo‐
cated at the positions shown.

tions shown
There are also hybrid components under the
vehicle that are faded by the underbody panel‐
ing.

body paneling parts.
