Caution
•
Use the pressure of your hand, do not knock on the full wheel trim! Heavy
knocks mainly on the points where the full wheel trim has not been inserted into
the wheel, can result in damage to the guide and centering elements of the full
wheel trim.
•
First check for yourself that the theft-deterrent wheel bolt is located
⇒page 210, “Securing wheels against being stolen*” in the hole in the area of the
valve before fitting the full wheel trim onto a steel wheel which is attached with a
theft-deterrent wheel bolt.
Wheel bolts with caps*
The caps are designed to protect the wheel bolts.Pulling off
– Insert the plastic clip (in the car tool kit) sufficiently far onto the cap
until the inner catches of the clip are positioned at the collar of the
cap.
– Pull the cap off with the plastic clip ⇒fig. 196.
Installing
– Insert the caps onto the bolts.
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
9).
– Grasp the end of the wrench and turn the bolt about one turn to the
left ⇒fig. 197.
Tightening wheel bolts

Note•
apply pressure carefully with your foot to the end of the wheel wrench if it
proves difficult to slacken the wheel bolts. Hold tight on the vehicle when doing this
and ensure that you have a steady position.
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 - engraving in the
lower sill - which is closest to the wheel to be removed ⇒fig. 198.
– 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 vertical web on the
engraving of the lower sill and the bottom base plate of the lifting
jack is resting flat with its complete surface against firm ground.
– 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 slip-
ping off - risk of injury!
•
Place the lifting jack only on a solid and even surface.
•
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!
•
Never start the engine if the vehicle is lifted - risk of accident.
•
Never lie under the vehicle if the vehicle is only lifted with the vehicle
lifting jack.
•
It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if
you wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!
Securing wheels against being stolen*
You need a special adapter for slackening the safety wheel bolts.
