WARNING
●

heavier vehicles or other loads. Risk of injury!
Make sure that the vehicle tools are stored
●
properly in the luggage compartment.

Changing a wheel
Introduction
WARNING
If you have a puncture in moving traffic,
●
switch on the hazard warning lights and
place the warning triangle at the obligatory
distance. Observe applicable local legal regu-
lations. This is for your own safety and that of
other drivers.
If you have a flat tyre, stop the vehicle as
●
far away as possible from moving traffic. Stop
on flat, solid ground.
If you have to change the tyre on a gradi-
●
ent, block the wheel opposite the wheel be-
ing changed by placing a stone or similar ob-
ject under it to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing away unexpectedly.
●
If the vehicle has been fitted with tyres or
alloys that are different to those fitted in
›››
manufacture, the instructions
page 146,
Replacing tyres and wheels
must be followed.
Always raise the vehicle with the doors
●
closed.
Never place parts of your body, e.g. arms
●
and legs, underneath the vehicle when it is
supported only by the jack.
Secure the base of the jack with suitable
●
supports so that it cannot slip. The jack could
slide if the ground below it is soft and slip-
pery and the vehicle could slip off it. There-
fore, place the jack on a firm surface or use a
large, stable base. On a slippery surface, e.g.
tile, use a non-slip base such as a rubber
mat.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
●
jacked. Risk of injury.
●
The jack should only be used in the correct
jacking points.
CAUTION
●
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts on steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
