Practical hints
Wheel change
vehicle with the jack. Do not disengage the
parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
Make sure that the ground on which the
vehicle is standing and where you place the
jack is solid, level and not slippery. If
necessary, use a large underlay. On
slippery surfaces, such as tiled floors, you
should use a non-slip underlay, for example
a rubber mat.
Do not use wooden blocks or similar
objects to support the jack. Otherwise the
jack may not be able to achieve its load-
bearing capacity if it is not at its full height.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
Also observe the notes on the jack.

Prevent the vehicle from rolling away by
blocking wheels with wheel chocks or other
sizeable objects.
One wheel chock is included with the
vehicle tool kit ( Y page 202). For
information on setting up the collapsible
wheel chock, see ( Y page 202).
When changing wheel on a level surface:
X
Place the wheel chock in front of and
another wheel chock or other sizeable
object behind the wheel that is diagonally
opposite to the wheel being changed.
Always try lifting the vehicle using the jack on
a level surface. However, should
circumstances require you to do so on a hill,
place the wheel chock and another sizeable
object as follows:
X
Place wheel chocks or other sizeable
objects on the downhill side blocking both
wheels of the axle not being worked on.
G Warning!
Only jack up the vehicle on level ground or
on slight inclines/declines. Otherwise, the
vehicle could fall off the jack and injure you
or others.
