WARNING
If you are in flowing traffic, switch on the hazard warning light system and
set up the warning triangle at the prescribed distance! The national legal re-
quirements must be observed.
Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the flow of traffic. Park on as
flat and firm a surface as possible.
The following instructions must be followed if the vehicle is subsequently
fitted with tyres or rims that differ from the factory-fitted ones » page 170,
New tyres.
WARNING
Observe the following instructions for lifting the vehicle.
If the wheel has to be changed on a slope, first of all block the opposite
wheel with a stone or similar object to prevent the vehicle from unexpectedly
rolling away.
Secure the base plate of the lifting jack with suitable means to prevent pos-
sible moving. A soft and slippery ground under the base plate may move the
lifting jack, causing the vehicle to fall down. It is therefore always necessary to
place the lifting jack on a solid surface or use a wide and stable base. Use a
non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the surface is smooth, such as cobbled
stones, tiled floor, etc.
Only attach the lifting jack to the attachment points provided for this pur-
pose.
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
Never position any body parts, such as arms or legs under the vehicle, while
the vehicle is raised with a lifting jack.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised – risk of injury.
CAUTION
The prescribed tightening torque of the wheel bolts for steel and light alloy
wheels is 120 Nm.
If the wheel bolts are fastened too tightly, this can cause damage to the anti-
theft wheel bolt or the adapter.
Note
The national legal requirements must be observed when changing a wheel.
Preliminary work
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 177.
Always change a wheel on a level surface as far as possible.
The following steps must be carried out before actually changing the wheel:
Let all of the occupants get out. While changing a tyre, the occupants of the
vehicle should not stand on the road (instead they should remain behind a crash
barrier).
