Sitting correctly and safely 
  
Fastened safety belts only offer optimal protec- 
tion during an accident and reduce the risk  of se- 
rious injury or death when they are positioned 
correctly. Furthermore, the correct safety belt 
position holds the vehicle occupant in place so 
that a deployed airbag can provide maximum 
protection. Therefore, always fasten the safety 
belt and make sure it is positioned correctly 
> fig. 56. 
To ensure the safety belt is positioned correctly, 
make sure of the following points: 
— The lap portion of the safety belt must be locat- 
ed across the lap. 
— The shoulder portion of the safety belt must 
rest over the center of the shoulder. 
— The safety belt must always rest flat and se- 
curely on the body. 
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the follow- 
ing may be available to adjust the safety belt to 
your body height: 
— Height-adjustable front  seats 
— Belt guide strap on the seat backrest 
For pregnant women, the safety belt must rest 
evenly across the chest and as low  and flat as 
possible on the lap, so that no pressure is applied 
to the lower abdomen. This should be done 
throughout the entire pregnancy > fig. 57. 
  
  
— The safety belt must lie flat and securely on 
the upper part of the body and the lap. 
— The belt webbing must not be pinched or 
twisted, or rub against sharp edges. 
— If the safety belt height is set incorrectly 
and/or the safety belt is routed incorrectly, 
then the safety belt's protective function 
will be impaired in the event of an accident. 
Make sure the safety belt is at the  right 
height and is routed correctly for the pas- 
senger using it. 
— A safety belt that is too loose may lead to in- 
juries during an accident, because your body 
will move farther forward due to kinetic en- 
ergy and will be stopped abruptly by the 
belt. 
— Heavily bulky, loose clothing (for example, a 
coat over a sports jacket) may prevent the 
seat and safety belts from functioning cor- 
rectly. 
— Do not position the safety belt over hard or 
breakable objects (such as glasses, pens, 
etc.). 
— The lap belt portion of the safety belt must 
sit as low as possible on the lap of pregnant 
women and lie flat under the belly. 
  
  
Z\ WARNING 
Incorrect safety belt positioning can cause se- 
rious injury in the event of an accident or dur- 
ing sudden braking or driving maneuvers. 
— Never drive with the backrest reclined ex- 
tremely far. The more the backrest is tilted 
back, the greater the risk  of injury due to the 
safety belt being routed incorrectly. 
— The safety belt itself or a loose safety belt 
can cause serious injuries if  it shifts onto 
soft areas of the body, such as the stomach. 
— The shoulder portion of the safety belt must 
lie over the center of the shoulder and 
chest, and never under the arm, behind the 
back, or across the neck or face. 
— The lap portion of the safety belt must lie 
across the lap and never over the stomach. 
      
sO 
() Note 
Make sure that there are  no hook-and-loop 
fasteners or sharp objects such as zippers or 
rivets on clothing in the area where the safety 
belt is worn. Otherwise, the safety belt could 
be damaged.

Emergency assistance 
  
> Slide  the wheel wrench from the vehicle tool kit 
all the way onto the wheel bolt). 
> Turn the wheel bolt approximately one turn to 
the left. To achieve the required torque, hold 
the end of the wheel wrench. If the wheel bolt 
will not loosen, press carefully on the wheel 
wrench with your foot. Hold onto the vehicle se- 
curely while doing this and make sure your foot- 
ing is stable. 
  
ZA WARNING 
To reduce the risk  of an accident, only loosen 
the wheel bolts gently one turn before raising 
the vehicle with the vehicle jack*.

Fig. 190 Sill: positioning the vehicle jack 
> Place the vehicle jack from the vehicle tool kit 
ona firm surface. Use a flat, stable support if 
necessary. On a slippery surface such as tile, 
you should use a non-slip pad such as a rubber 
mat > /A\. 
  
D_ You need the matching adapter in order to loosen and 
tighten anti-theft wheel bolts* > page 244. 
> Find the marking on the sill that is closest to 
the tire that will be changed > fig. 189. Behind 
the marking, there is a lifting point on the side 
sill for the vehicle jack. 
> Turn the vehicle jack located under the mount- 
ing point on the sill to raise the jack until its 
arm @) ° fig. 190 is located under the desig- 
nated mounting point. 
> Align the vehicle jack so the arm (@) engages in 
the designated mounting point in the side sill 
and the base (2) lies flat on the ground. The 
base (2) must be directly under the mounting 
point @. 
> Continue raising the vehicle jack until the wheel 
lifts off the ground slightly. 
  
ZA WARNING 
—To reduce the risk of injury, make sure no 
one is in the vehicle before raising it. 
— Make sure the vehicle jack is stable. The risk 
of injury is increased when the ground is 
slippery or soft, because the vehicle jack 
could slide or sink. 
— Only raise your vehicle with the vehicle jack 
provided by the factory. If you use a vehicle 
jack designed for another vehicle, your vehi- 
cle could slip and cause injury. 
— Position the vehicle jack only at the desig- 
nated mounting points on the side sill and 
align  the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle jack 
could slip and cause an injury if it does not 
have sufficient hold on the vehicle. 
—To reduce the risk of injury, do not raise any 
other vehicles or other loads using the vehi- 
cle jack provided by the factory. 
—To reduce the risk of an accident, never start 
the engine when the vehicle is raised. 
—To reduce the risk of injury, no work should 
be performed under the vehicle while it is 
    
raised. 
  
@) Note 
Do not lift the vehicle by the sill. Position the 
vehicle jack only at the designated mounting

Removing a wheel 
> Remove the top wheel bolt completely using 
the  hex socket in the screwdriver handle from 
the vehicle tool kit > fig. 191 and place it ona 
clean surface. 
> Then install the alignment pin from the vehicle 
tool kit by hand in the empty wheel bolt hole 
> fig. 192”. 
> Remove the rest of the wheel bolts. 
> Remove the wheel >(). The alignment pin re- 
mains in the hole while doing this. 
Installing a wheel 
Read the directions on > page 246 when instal- 
ling unidirectional tires. 
> Slide the wheel on over the alignment pin >@®. 
  
D Applies to: vehicles with ceramic brake rotors*: Use a sec- 
ond alignment pin* from the vehicle tool kit for the lowest 
hole according to the steps described for the first align- 
ment pin. 
246 
> Install  the wheel bolts and tighten them gently 
using the hex socket. 
>» Remove the alignment pin and tighten the re- 
maining wheel bolt. 
> Carefully lower the vehicle using the vehicle 
jack*. 
> Tighten the wheel bolts in a diagonal pattern 
using the wheel wrench. 
The wheel bolts must be clean and loosen and 
tighten easily. Check the contact surfaces for the 
wheel and hub. Contaminants on these surfaces 
must be removed before installing the wheel. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
— Read and follow the important information 
and notes under > page 220. 
— Never use  the hex socket in the screwdriver 
handle to tighten the wheel bolts. Using the 
hex 
socket will not achieve the required 
tightening torque, which increases the risk 
of an accident. 
       
@) Note 
When removing or installing the wheel, the 
rim 
could hit the brake rotor and damage the 
rotor. Work carefully and have a second per- 
son help  you. 
    Unidirectional tires 
A unidirectional tire profile is identified by arrows 
on the tire sidewall that point in the running di- 
rection. You must always maintain the specified 
running direction. This is necessary to ensure the 
tire's optimal performance in regard to adhesion, 
running noise, and friction, and to reduce the risk 
of 
hydroplaning. 
To benefit fully from the advantages of the uni- 
directional tire design, you should replace faulty 
tires as soon as possible and restore the correct 
running direction on all of the tires.
