What do I do now?
Jack, tools and spare wheel
Jack and tools
The tools and jack are stored underneath the floor panel
in the luggage compartment.
Raise the floor panel with the loop.
Fig. 188 Floor panel
hung on the bottom of
the luggage compart­
ment cover
Fig . 189 Vehicle tool
kit and jack
- Hang the loop on the underside of the luggage compart­
ment cover ~ fig. 188.
Remove the tool kit or the jack.
The onboard tool kit includes:
• Hook for removing wheel covers*
• Plasti c hook to remove wheel bolt covers
• Wheel bolt wrench
• Alignment pin for changing wheels
• Screwdriver with reversible blade
• Towing eye
Before storing the jack, make sure it is wound back down as far as it
will go.
After use, the jack and tools must be put back in place underneath
the floor panel in the luggage compartment.
Note: some of the on-board items listed above are provided on
certain models only or are optional extras.
& WARNING
Improper use of the vehicle jack can cause serious personal inju­
ries.
• Using a bumper jack to raise the vehicle will damage the
bumper system. The jack may slip, causing injury.
• Never support your vehicle on cinder blocks, bricks or other
objects. These may not be able to support the load and could
cause injury when they fail.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is supported by
the jack.
• If you must work under the vehicle, always use safety stands
specifically designed for this purpose.
• Never try and use the hexagonal socket
in the handle of the
screwdriver to loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.

What do I do now? -__________________ __;__:....:....:..:: __ _
•
-All passengers should leave the car and move to a safe
location (for instance, behind the guardrail)~& .
- Apply the
parking brake firmly ~& .
- Move
selector lever to position Pon an automatic trans-
miss ion; put manual transmission in
first gear ~& .
-If you are towing a trailer : unhitch the trailer from your
vehicle.
- Take the
tool and the spare tire~ page 270 out of the
luggage compartment.
& WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while changing a wheel if
you do not follow these safety precautions:
• If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off the road. Turn off
the engine, turn the emergency flasher on and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists.
• Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the roadway and traffic.
• To help prevent the vehicle from moving suddenly and possibly
slipping off the jack, always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. When one
front wheel is lifted off the ground, placing the automatic trans­
mission in "P" (Park), or engaging a gear in a manual transmission
will
not prevent the vehicle from moving.
• Before you change a wheel, be sure the ground is level and firm.
If necessary, use a sturdy board under the jack.
• After installing the spare wheel, make sure that you remount
the flat tire/wheel in its storage area properly and tighten the
knurled retaining screw securely. •
Changing a wheel
When you change a wheel, follow the sequence described
below step-by-step and exactly in that order.
1. Remove the decorative wheel cover*. For more details
see also
~ page 274, "Decorative wheel covers" or
~ page 275, "Wheels with cap-covered wheel bolts".
2. Loosen the
wheel bolts ~ page 276.
3. Locate the proper mounting point for the jack and align the jack below that point~
page 276.
4. Lift the car with the jack~ page 276.
5. Take the flat wheel off and then put the spare on
~ page 278.
6. Tighten all wheel bolts lightly .
7.
Lower the vehicle with the jack .
8. Use the wheel bolt wrench and
firmly tighten all wheel

using the ignition key or a screwdriver~ fig. 199.
- Check the fuse listing on the next pages to find out which fuse belongs to the component which has failed
~ page 281, "Fuse Locatio n, Instrument Panel left".
- Remove the blown fuse with the plastic clip provided.
The clip is located on the holder in the fuse box.
- Replace a blown fuse (recognizable by the melted metal
strip inside) w ith a fuse of the same amperage .
- Firmly snap the cover back onto the instrument panel
face.

- Switch the ignition and the affected consumer off.
- Unlatch the fuse cover, push the two slides forward
~ fig. 200.
- Find out which fuse belongs to the equipment which

General information of starting
assistance
Please observe that the p rocedure described below for conn ect in g
jumper cab les is intended to provide a jump start for your vehicle.
M ake s ure th at th e connec ted cla mps have su ffic ien t
me tal contact .
Start assistance differs for vehicles with a 4-cylinder engine and a 6-
cy lind er eng ine:
=> page 289, "Use of jumper cables (4 cyl inder eng ine)"
=> page 290, "Use of jumper cables (6 cylinder engine)"
& WARNING
Improper handling of the jumper cables can lead to an explosion
of the battery and severe injuries. To reduce the risk of injury , note
the following :
• The sections of the terminal clamps that are not insulated
must not tou ch ea ch other . In addition , the cable clamped to the
battery 's positive terminal must not come in contact with electri ­
cally conne cted parts of the vehicle -danger of short cir cuit!
• Route the jumper cable so that it cannot cat ch in any rotating
parts in the engine compartment .
• Do not bend over the batteries -danger of chemical burns!
• The battery cell locking screws must be tightened securely .
• Keep ignition sources (open flame, burning cigarettes, etc .)
away from the batteries -danger of explosion!
• Do not clamp the minus cable to parts of the fuel system or the
brake lines.

On vehicles with 4-cylinder engines the battery is located in
the front, in the engine compartment on the driver's side. To
reach the battery terminals, remove the cover=>
page 238.
Preparatory measures
1. Do not jump start a frozen battery!=> & in "Starting
with jumper cables" on
page 287, => & in "General infor­
mat ion of starting assistance" on
page 288. Replace such
a battery!
2. Otherwise apply the hand brake and shift into idle gear if your vehicle has manual transmission, and put the selector lever into P position if your vehicle has auto­matic transmission.
3. For both vehicles switch off all consumers and the igni ­
tion.

8. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot catch in any
rotating parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
9. Start the engine of the vehicle providing assistance and
allow it to run at idle.
10. Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged
battery, wait for two to three minutes until the engine
"runs " smoothly.
11. If the engine does not start: Stop trying after 10 seconds
and then try again after about 30 seconds.
12. In the vehicle that has received start assistance, turn on
the heater blower and the rear window heating to elimi­ nate any voltage peaks when disconnecting. Driving
lights must be switched off! ._
