Changing a wheel
Introduction to the topic
You should carry out a wheel change yourself
only when the v
ehicle is parked safely, you
are familiar with the safety procedures and
have access to the correct equipment. Some
models are delivered from the factory with-
out a jack or box spanner. If this is the case,
wheels should be changed by a qualified
workshop.
The jack supplied with the vehicle is only de-
signed for changing a wheel when one vehi-
cle tyre is damaged and has to be replaced. If
both tyres on one side of the vehicle, both
tyres on one axle, or all tyres are damaged,
seek expert assistance. WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially when carried out at the side of a road.
Please note the f

ollowing steps in order to
reduce the risk of serious injuries:
x Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and
when safe to do so. Park the vehicle at
a safe distance from moving traffic in
order to carry out the wheel change.
x All passengers and children in particular
must be at a safe distance and away
from the area of work during the wheel
change.
x Switch on the hazard warning lights to
warn other road users.
x Check that the surface the vehicle is
parked on is level and firm. If necessary,
use a large, strong board or similar sup-
port for the jack.
x Only change the wheel yourself when
you feel confident with carrying out the
procedure. If not, seek expert assistance.
x Always use suitable and undamaged
tools to change the wheel.
x Always switch off the electric drive via
the ignition and move the selector lever to the P position to reduce the risk of
unintended v

ehicle movement.
x Switch on the electronic parking brake.
x The wheel bolt tightening torque should
be checked with a correctly functioning
torque wrench immediately after chang-
ing a wheel.
x In the case of vehicles with a Tyre Pres-
sure Loss Indicator, the system must be
re-synchronised immediately after
a wheel change

Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or
body parts
Auxiliary equipment and second stage manu-
facturers must ensure that the equipment
and bodies (conversions) adhere to the stipu-
lated environmental laws and regulations,
particularly the EU directive 2000/53/EC con-
cerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive
2003/11/EC concerning the restriction on the
marketing and use of certain dangerous sub-
stances and preparations.
The vehicle owner must keep all assembly
documentation for these conversions and
pass it on to the scrapping company upon ve-
hicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This
is intended to facilitate environmentally re-
sponsible disposal for all vehicles, including
refitted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equip-
ment require an electrical or electronic mod-
ule, which is located on the inside of the
windscreen near the interior mirror. If the
windscreen has been damaged in the viewing
field of the electrical or electronic module,
e.g. by stone impact, the windscreen must be
replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to mal-
function or functional faults in the equip-
ment. After changing the windscreen, the camera
and sensors must be adjusted and calibrated
by a qualified workshop.
Impairment or damage to sensors and cam-
eras
Incorrectly perf
ormed repairs, structural
changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the sus-
pension, retrofitted add-on parts or changes
to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras
being displaced or damaged. This can also be
caused by collisions when parking, or also
even by minor damage such as stone impacts
on the windscreen.
The area in front of and around the sensors
and cameras must not be covered by stickers,
additional headlights, trim frames for number
plates or similar. Observe the position of sen-
sors and cameras on the vehicle
