Engine oil pressure
I illuminates red.
Illuminates briefly when the ignition is switched on.
Illuminates when the engine is
runningCaution
Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and/or
locking of the drive wheels.
1. Depress clutch.
2. Select neutral gear, set selector lever to N.
3. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles.
4. Switch off ignition.9 Warning
When the engine is off,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer. During an
Autostop the brake servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove key until vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steeringwheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Keep engine turned off and let the
vehicle be towed to a workshop.
Low fuel Y illuminates yellow.
Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly
after the engine starts.
214Vehicle careRaise the vehicle by pressing the
wheel wrench until the wheel is
clear of the ground.
4. Unscrew wheel bolts / nuts completely and wipe clean with a
cloth.
Put wheel bolts / nuts somewhere
where the threads will not be
soiled.
5. Change the wheel.
6. Screw in the wheel bolts / nuts.
7. Lower vehicle.
8. Install the wheel wrench (depending on vehicle, attach
wheel wrench to adapters)
ensuring that it is securely located and tighten each wheel bolt / nut
in a crosswise sequence.
Tightening torque is: 172 Nm
(Front-wheel drive), 235 Nm
(Rear-wheel drive with twin rear
wheels), 264 Nm (Rear-wheel
drive with single rear wheels).
9. Refit wheel cover. Rear-wheel drive, with twin rear
wheels: Install the tyre valve
extender to the inner rear wheel
before refitting the wheel cover.Notice
If applicable, fit anti-theft bolts
nearest the tyre valve (otherwise it
may not be possible to refit the wheel
cover).
10. Stow the replaced wheel 3 214
and the vehicle tools 3 203.
11. Have the new wheel balanced on the vehicle. Check the tyre
pressure of the installed tyre
3 229 and also the wheel bolt /
nut torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired.
Spare wheel
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations. In this case a permissible maximum speed applies, even
though no label at the spare wheel
indicates this.Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is held under the
vehicle frame using a winch and
secured by tightening a cable using
the wheel wrench and adapters
(depending on vehicle).
It may be necessary to jack the
vehicle up to gain access to the spare
wheel on a fully loaded vehicle with a flat rear tyre.
