Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight- ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or
P .
● Remove the spare wheel 3 214.
● Never change more than one wheel at once.
● Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.● 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 vehicle when it is
raised on the jack.
● Before screwing in the wheel bolts, clean them.9Warning
Do not grease wheel bolts.
9Warning
Ensure to use always the correct
wheel bolts if changing the
wheels. When installing the spare
wheel, the bolts for alloy wheels can also be used.
● Note that the spare wheel is secured by the conical contact ofeach bolt if the wheel bolts for the
alloy wheels are used. In this
case, the washers do not come
into contact with the spare wheel.
1. Disengage wheel bolt caps with a
screwdriver and remove.
Steel wheels with cover: Pull off
