Slackening and tightening wheel bolts
Slacken the wheel bolts before jacking up the vehicle.
Slackening wheel bolts
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the wheel bolt
– Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt about one turn to the left
 fig. 201.
Tightening wheel bolts
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the wheel bolt
– Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt to the right until it is tight.
WARNING
Slacken the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) as long as the vehicle has
not yet been jacked up - risk of an accident!.
Note
Apply pressure carefully with your foot to the end of the wrench if it proves difficult
to slacken the bolts. Hold tight on the vehicle when doing this and ensure that you
have a steady position.

Driving Tips
Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with a lifting jack in order to be able to
take off the wheel.
Position the lifting jack by selecting the jacking point which is closest to the wheel
to be removed  fig. 202. 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 car jack so that its claw grasps the web of the lower sill
A
base plate is resting flat on the floor.
B
– Turn the lifting jack up further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery can cause the vehicle to slip
off the jack. 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, a tiled floor, etc.
WARNING

Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!

Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack from slipping
off - risk of injury!

Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result in damage
to the vehicle. The jack can also slip off if it does not have sufficient grip - risk of
injury!

It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if you
wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!
