re placement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS tocontinue tofunction prop‐

means of a tire pressure sensor.
New tire pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tires,
are automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven.
The tire pressure and the tire temp erature appear
in the multifunction display (/ page165).
If th ere is a subs tantial loss of tire pressure, a
wa rning is issued:

Preparing
theve hicle for a wheel change Re
quirements:
R The tire-change tool kit is available.
R The vehicle is not on a slope.
R The vehicle is on solid, non-slippery and le vel
ground. #
Appl yth e parking brake. #
Movethe front wheels tothest ra ight-ahead
position. #
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission toposition 005D. #
Switch off the engine. #
Make sure that the engine cann otbe star ted. #
Take theve hicle tool kit from thefo ot we ll on
th e front passsenger side (/ page 229).Ve
hicles with rear wheel drive #
Take the jack and the tire-change tool kit out
of thestow age compartment (/ page 250).#
If necessar y,remo vethe hub cab. #
Assemble the lug wrench extension using the
middle rod and thero d with the lar gest diam‐
et er from theth re e-piece jack pump le ver. #
Starting with the middle rod, slide the lug
wrench extension as far as it will go onto the
lug wrench. #
Using the lug wrench, loosen the wheel nuts
or bolts on the wheel you wish tochange by
about one full turn. Do not unscr ewthe wheel
nuts or bolts comple tely. #

WARNING Risk of inju ryfrom jack tip‐
ping
If yo u park a vehicle with air suspension, the
air suspension may remain activated for up to
one hour, even when the ignition is switched
off. If youth en raise theve hicle with the jac k,
th e air suspension will attem pttoadjust the

The jack may tip. #
Press the Service button on the air sus‐
pension remo tecontrol before raising
th eve hicle.
This pr events au tomatic readjustment
of theve hicle le vel and pr events it from
being raised or lo wered manually. &
WARNING Risk of inju ryfrom incor rect
positioning of the jack
If yo u do not position the jack cor rectly at the
appropriate jacking point of theve hicle, the
jack could tip wi th theve hicle raised. #
Only position the jack at the appropriate
jacking point of theve hicle. The base of
th e jack must be positioned vertically
under the jacking point of theve hicle. &
WARNING Risk of inju ryfrom vehicle tip‐
ping
On slopes, the jack could tip with theve hicle
ra ised. #
Neverch ange a wheel on a slope. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. *

TEVehicle damage from the jack If
yo u do not position the jack cor rectly at the
appropriate jack support point of theve hicle,
