Hints
Safety measures in case of a breakdown
or a wheel change
▷ Park the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.
Switch on the hazard warning system.
▷ Set the parking brake and engage trans‐
mission position P.
▷ Have all vehicle occupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain out‐
side the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.
▷ If necessary, set up a warning triangle or
portable hazard warning lamp at an appro‐
priate distance. Comply with all safety
guidelines and regulations.
▷ Perform wheel change only on a flat, solid
and slip-resistant surface. On soft or slip‐
pery ground, e.g., snow, ice, tiles, etc., the
vehicle or vehicle jack can slip away to the
side.
▷ Do not place wood blocks or similar items
under the vehicle jack; otherwise, it cannot
reach its carrying capacity because of the
restricted height.
▷ If the vehicle is raised, do not lie under the
vehicle and do not start the engine; other‐
wise, a mortal hazard exists.◀
