You have to raise the vehicle with a lifting jack in order to be able
to take off the wheel.

to be removed 106. The jacking point is located directly below the engraving
in the lower sill.
– Position the lifting jack below the jacking point and move it up until its claw is
positioned directly below the vertical web of the lower sill.
– Align the lifting jack so that its claw grasps the web
embossing in the side surface of the base plate.
Make sure that the base plate of the lifting jack rests with its entire surface on

level ground and is located vertical to the point

WARNING
● 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.
● Secure the base plate of the lifting jack with suitable means to prevent
possible 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 neces-
sary 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, a tiled floor, etc.
● Never start the engine with the vehicle sitting on the raised jack - danger
of suffering injury.
● Attach the lifting jack only at the attachment points provided for this pur-
pose.
