13.Turn the selector switch clockwise
to the air only position. Switch on
the compressor to inflate the tyre
with air only.
Note
The driving characteristic of the
repaired tyre is severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least
30 minutes.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
canister.
Replace the used sealant canister.
To remove sealant canister, release sealant filler hose and air hose, slide
canister out of housing and unscrew hose from canister. Dispose of thecanister as prescribed by applicable
laws.
The accessory adapter supplied can
be used to pump up other items e.g. footballs, air mattresses, inflatable

Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel
3 187.
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 electrical parking brake
3 143 and engage first gear,
reverse gear or P.
● Remove the spare wheel 3 193.● Never change more than one
wheel at a time.
● Block wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed, by
placing wedge blocks or
equivalent in front and behind the wheel.
● Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre changes.
● Never exceed jack maximum working load (900 kg).
● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● Do not raise the vehicle more than is necessary to change a
wheel.
● No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up.
● Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.

Vehicle care191●Do not start the engine when it is
raised on the jack.
● Clean wheel nuts and thread before mounting the wheel.9Warning
Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel
nut and wheel nut cone.
1. Pull off the wheel cover.
2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and loosen
each wheel nut by one turn by
turning anticlockwise.
3. The location of front and rear jacking points is indicated by
notches on the bottom edge of the vehicle, under the doors.
4. Before positioning the jack, set it to the necessary height by
rotating the eye by hand.
Position jack at the jacking point
located nearest to the wheel concerned so that the jack claw
spans the vertical base. Ensure
the jack is positioned correctly.
The jack base must be on the
ground directly below the jacking
point in a manner that prevents it
from slipping.
5. Attach wheel wrench to eye of threaded rod and rotate wrench
clockwise to raise vehicle.

192Vehicle careIf this is not the case, carefully
lower the vehicle immediately and
reposition the jack. Raise the
vehicle until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
6. Unscrew wheel nuts completely and wipe clean with a cloth.
Do not grease the threads. Put
wheel nuts somewhere where the threads will not be soiled.
7. Change the wheel. Notes on spare wheel 3 193.
8. Screw on the wheel nuts and tighten slightly by hand by turningclockwise until wheel is held
against the hub.
9. Rotate wrench anticlockwise and lower vehicle to the ground.
10. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten
each wheel nut in a crosswise
sequence. Tightening torque is
140 Nm.
11. Stow the replaced wheel 3 193
and the vehicle tools 3 179.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed and
replace temporary spare wheel with a full specification wheel without delay.

Spare wheel
Temporary spare wheel
Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel.
The temporary spare wheel is
designed for use on your vehicle only.
If mounting a spare wheel which is
different from the other wheels, this
wheel might be classified as a
temporary spare wheel and the
corresponding speed limits apply,
even though no label indicates this.
Seek the assistance of a workshop to
check the applicable speed limit.
Use of the temporary spare wheel
could affect driveability, particularly if
using winter tyres. Have the defective
tyre renewed as soon as possible and have the wheel balanced and fitted tothe vehicle.Caution
The use of a spare wheel that issmaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The temporary spare wheel is located in the load compartment below the
floor cover and is secured with a
screw-in retainer.
Push both levers on the floor cover
towards the handle and pull up the
cover by the handle. Hang the hook
to the upper part of the tailgate
opening.
Vehicle tools 3 179.
Remove the retainer by rotating it
anticlockwise and remove temporary
spare wheel from the spare wheel
well.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.
When the temporary spare wheel is
fitted, do not take the vehicle through an automatic vehicle wash with guide
rails. The temporary spare wheel may get caught on the rails, causing
damage to the tyre, wheel and other
vehicle parts.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted
on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre chains 3 187.

Vehicle care197Turn key to ignition switch position
ACC and release the electrical
parking brake before towing the
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the
towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 115 and
close the windows.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
88 km/h . In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler lip. Store
towing eye in the storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
Vehicle tools 3 179.
Towing another vehicleRemove the cover located on the rear bumper by pressing the lower part of
the cover.
The rear towing eye attachment is
stored below the floor cover in the
load compartment.
Screw the rear towing eye attachment
anticlockwise using a suitable
screwdriver, until it is firmly in place
and stops in a horizontal position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the rear towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not for recovering a
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
To prevent damage, do not take up slack in the tow rope too quickly.
After towing, unscrew the rear towing
eye attachment clockwise to remove,
and reinstall the cover.
