•
Fit
the box spanner (provided in the vehicle's
tool kit) as far as it will go over the wheeL
bolt1'.
• Turn the wheel bolt approx. one turn
anti­

clockwise -arrow-. To apply the necessary tor­

Applying the jack under the door sill
• Always provide a firm base for the jack* on the

ground.
(The jack can be found in the vehicle's
tool kit). If necessary use a large, strong board
or similar support. On a
hard,
slippery surface
(such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to
prevent
the
jack from slipping

• Locate the marking (recess or rib) on the door
sill closest to the wheel being changed

the marking under the door
sill.

• Wind up
the
jack* under
the
jacking point until
the claw

low the jacking point.
• Align
the
jack* so
that
the
claw
(A)
grips the
jacking point under the door sill and the mova­
ble base plate of the jack
(B)
is flat on the

ground.
The base plate

- Make sure the jack* is stable. If the ground
underneath the jack* is slippery or soft, the
jack can slip or sink in - risk of injury!
- Use only the jack* supplied with your vehicle
to raise the vehicle. If
you
use
a
jack from a
different vehicle, your vehicle may slip off

the
jack - risk of injury!
- Apply the jack* only at the jacking points lo­
cated behind the markings on the door sill
and align it properly. Otherwise there is a
risk of injury since
the
jack* can slip off
sud­

denly if it is not properly engaged.
-The height of the parked vehicle can change
as a result of variations in loading.
- Never start the engine when the vehicle is
on the jack - risk of accident!
- If work has to be done under the vehicle, en­
sure that it is
safely
supported on suitable
stands - risk of injury!
© CAUTION
The vehicle must not be lifted up on its sills.
Only apply the jack*
at
the jacking points loca­
ted behind the markings on the door
sill.
Oth­

erwise your vehicle could be damaged.

tow the vehicLe, please refer to the following ta­
ble to determine the appropriate axle
for
your
gearbox/drive combination:
Manual
gearbox
Automatic
gearbox
Front-wheel

Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Four-wheel
drive
Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive: If the
vehicle is to be towed with one of the axles

raised,
the ignition must be switched off; other­
wise the drive train can be damaged.
Notes on tow-starting
Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox: For
technical reasons, your vehicle must not be tow-

started.

Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: As a
general rule, tow-starting is not recommended.
If the engine will not start, it is best to try start­
ing it using the battery of another vehicle

*>page
326 before attempting to tow start. If
this is not possible, you can try to push-start or
tow-start the vehicle
*page
330, Tow-starting.
A WARNING
There is a high risk of accidents when towing/
tow-starting, as the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.

UTION

- If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as de­
scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than 50 km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- Towing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
- Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position
P
if the electrical power sup­
ply fails. Before the vehicle can be recov­
ered/manoeuvred you must manually re­
lease the selector lever; left-hand drive
