proper positioning of
jack
-Activate the vehicle jack mode* (only vehicles with Adap­
tive Air Suspension) =>
page 180.
- Engage the parking brake to prevent your vehicle from
rolling unintentionally
- Move the
selector lever to position P.
- Position the jack below the door sill under the mounting
point
that is closest to the wheel to be changed
=>
page 342 , fig. 254.
- Extend the
jack under the lifting point on the door sill until
its arm is positioned directly under the lifting point=>&.
- Align the jack so that its arm©=>
page 343, fig. 255
engages in the designated lifting point in the door sill and
the movable base® lies flat on the ground. The base ®
must be
vertical under the lifting point@.
- Wind the jack up further until the flat tire comes off the
ground =>& .
The jack must be installed only at the places indicated=> page 342,
fig. 254. There is exactly one location for each wheel. The jack must
not be positioned at any other location=>& .
Vehicle OP-eration
An unstable surface under the jack can cause the vehicle to slip off
the jack . Always provide a firm base for the jack on the ground. If
necessary place a sturdy board or similar support under the jack . On
hard, slippery surfaces (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to
prevent the jack from slipping=>&.
& WARNING
• You or your passengers could be injured while changing a
wheel if you do not follow these safety precautions:
-Positioning the jack under the vehicle at any other place than
those indicated above may damage the vehicle or may result in personal injuries.
- A soft or unstable surface under the jack may cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide a firm base for the
jack on the ground. If necessary, use a sturdy board under the
jack.
- On hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or
similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
• To help prevent injury to yourself and your passengers:
-Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely
engaged.
- Passengers must not remain in the vehicle when it is jacked
up.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the road and traffic.
- Make sure jack position is correct, adjust as necessary and
then continue to raise the jack. •

read and heed all WARNINGS~
page 286, "Engine compart­
ment".
0 Note
• Applying a higher voltage booster battery will cause expensive
damage to sensitive electronic components, such as control units,
relays, radio, etc.
• There must be no electrical contact between the vehicles as other­
wise current could already start to flow as soon as the positive(+)
terminals are connected.
[I] Tips
• The discharged battery must be properly connected to the
vehicle's electrical system . When jump starting or charging the
battery, never connect the negative ground cable to the battery nega­
tive post because the battery manager system must be able to detect
the battery's state of charge. Always connect the negative ground
cable to the negative ground post of the battery manager control
unit. •
