Wheel changing

Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel

Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm
and non-slippery surface. The
front wheels must be in the
straight-ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and

(manual transmission) or N
(manual transmission
automated).
● Switch off the air suspension
system 3 140.
● Remove the spare wheel 3 210.
● Never change more than one
wheel at a time.
● Use the jack only to change
wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.
● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● No people or animals may be in
the vehicle when it is jacked-up.
● Never crawl under a jacked-up
vehicle.
● Do not start the engine when the
vehicle is raised on the jack.
● Clean wheel bolts/nuts and their
threads before mounting the
wheel.
