Function key: Effect
Reduced audio volume : Set how much the volume for other
audio sources should be reduced while a beeping signal
sounds. The current audio source is set to the reduced vol-
ume while you change the settings.
Telephone5: Set output volume for telephone calls in the vehicle.
= Speed-dependent volume adjustment : If the speed-dependent volume
(GALA) is activated, the audio volume is automatically raised as the vehi-
cle speed increases.
When speed-dependent volume is switched on in vehicles with Dynaudio
Confidence®, the volume of individual frequencies is automatically raised
or reduced depending on the road noise caused by the rising vehicle
speed. This “reduces” the road noise in the vehicle.

Changing the sound focus (balance and fader) using the vehicle diagram
x Press the Balance - Fader function key.
The crosshair in the vehicle diagram shows the current sound focus in the vehicle interior.

Lift points for the vehicle

Fig. 325 Front lift point for workshop hoist or floor jack.

Fig. 326 Rear lift point for workshop hoist or floor jack.
The vehicle may only be raised at the lift points shown in illustrations and ⇒ fig. 326. If the vehicle is
lifted at different points, vehicle damage ⇒  and serious injuries may occur ⇒ .
Workshop hoists that use fluid cushions (receiving platforms) must not be used for lifting the vehicle.
There are many precautions that have to be followed when lifting a vehicle on a workshop hoist or floor jack. Do not try to lift a vehicle on a workshop hoist or floor jack unless you have the training, knowledge, and experience to be able to do so safely.
Information about lifting the vehicle with the vehicle jack

WARNING
Improperly lifting your vehicle with a workshop hoist or floor jack can cause the vehicle to fall off the hoist or jack and cause serious personal injury.
x Always read and heed the operating instructions from the floor jack manufacturer and legal regulations if necessary before using the floor jack to lift the vehicle.
x Never let anyone stay in the vehicle when it is being lifted or when it is off the ground.
x Always lift your vehicle only at the designated lift points shown in the illustrations
⇒ fig. 325 and ⇒ fig. 326. Not using the designated lift points can cause the vehicle to fall off the floor jack when heavy parts such as the engine or transmission are removed.
x Always make sure that the vehicle's lift points lie as flat as possible and centered on the carrier plates of the floor jack.
x Never start the engine when you have raised the vehicle on the floor jack. The engine vibrations and vehicle movements could knock the vehicle off the floor jack.
x If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, always make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle.
x Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
x Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavier than the lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands being used.
NOTICE
x To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle by the engine oil pan, trans-mission housing, or by the front or rear axles or suspension.
x To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always insert a rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In addition make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
x The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of the vehicle.

Wheel bolt tightening torque
Correctly tightened bolts for steel and alloy wheel rims should have a torque of 133 ft-lbs. (180 Nm). After changing a wheel, have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked right away with an accurate torque wrench.
Before you check the tightening torque, replace corroded and difficult-to-turn wheel bolts and clean the threads in the wheel hub.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel hubs. The bolts can come loose while driving if greased or oiled, even if tightened to the required torque.
WARNING
Improperly tightened wheel bolts can come loose while driving and cause you to lose control over the vehicle, resulting in accidents and serious injuries.
x Only use wheel bolts that belong your vehicle and to the wheel being installed.
x Never use different wheel bolts.
x Wheel bolts and wheel hub threads must always be clean, easy-to-turn and free of oil and grease.
x Only use the lug wrench that is supplied with the vehicle to loosen the wheel bolts.
x Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn before lifting the vehicle with the jack.
x Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel hubs. The bolts can come loose while driving if greased or oiled, even if tightened to the required torque.
x Never loosen bolted connections on wheel rims with bolted rim rings.
x If the wheel bolts are not tightened to the proper torque, the wheel can come off the vehi-cle when it is moving. Extremely high torque can damage the wheel bolts and/or their threads.

Removing the wheel
x Review the checklist ⇒  Preparations for changing a wheel.
x Loosen the wheel bolts ⇒  Wheel bolts.
x Lift the vehicle ⇒  Lifting the vehicle with the vehicle jack.
x Unscrew the topmost loosened wheel bolt using the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle
⇒ fig. 334 place it on a clean surface.
x Screw the mounting pin in the vehicle tool kit into the empty hole by hand ⇒ fig. 342.
x Remove the remaining wheel bolts using the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle ⇒ fig. 334 and place them on a clean surface.
x Remove the wheel.
Mounting spare tire or collapsible spare tire
If the tire is a unidirectional tire, be sure to install it in the proper rolling direction ⇒  Unidirectional tires.
x Put the spare tire or collapsible spare tire into place on the vehicle.
x Screw in 4 wheel bolts clockwise and tighten them slightly using the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle.
x Unscrew the mounting pin and screw in the last wheel bolt.
x Lower the vehicle with the jack.
x Use the lug wrench to firmly tighten all wheel bolts (turn clockwise) ⇒ . Do not tighten them in sequence! Tighten any wheel bolt to begin, then tighten the wheel bolt diagonally opposite the first bolt, and so forth.
x Install the wheel bolt caps, center wheel hubcap, or wheel cover, if any ⇒  Wheel trim.
WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or installed improperly can come loose, causing loss of vehi-cle control, a crash, and serious personal injury.
x Always keep wheel bolts and threads in the wheel hub clean and free of oil and grease. The wheel bolts must turn easily and must be tightened with the right torque.
x Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle only to turn the wheel bolts when they are loose, never to loosen them or tighten them firmly.
WARNING
Improper use of a collapsible spare tire can cause loss of vehicle control, a crash or other accident, and serious personal injury.
x Never use a collapsible spare tire if it is damaged or worn down to the wear indicators.
x Never drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a collapsible spare tire. Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy braking, and fast cornering!
x Never drive more than 125 miles (200 km) with a 16" collapsible spare wheel that is in-stalled on the front axle (drive axle).
x Replace the collapsible spare with a normal wheel and tire as soon as possible. Collapsi-ble spare tires are designed for brief use only.
