2 7 4 Emergency situations
@ Tips
Check carefully to make sure the hook-up
is secure before moving the car up the flat­
bed truck ramp.
Vehicle transport
Whenever you have your vehicle transported,
be sure to note the following:
(D Note
Mount the tie-down chains/cables over the
running surface (circumference) of the
tires. Never secure the vehicle by the axle,
the suspension struts or the front or rear
towline eye. For technical reasons, the
pressure in the suspension struts may
change during the transport and this will
adversely affect vehicle handling.
Lifting vehicle
Lifting with workshop hoist and with
floor jack
The vehicle may only be lifted at the lifting
points illustrated.
Fig. 215 Front lift in g po int
Fig. 216 Rear lifti ng point
.,. Read and heed WARNING ¢ _&.
.,. Activate the vehicle jack mode in the MMI :
!CARI function button > Car systems control
button
> Servicing & checks > Air susp.:
jack mode
> On.
.,. Locate lifting points ¢ fig . 215 and
¢fig. 216 .
.,. Adjust lifting arms of workshop hoist or
floor jack to match veh icle lifting points .
.,. Insert a rubber pad between the floor jack/
wo rkshop hoist and the lifting points.
The vehicle jack mode must be act ivated so
that the automat ic adjustment of the Adap­
tive Ai r Suspens ion does not make it more dif­
ficult to raise the vehicle with the floor jack.
If you must lift your vehicle with a floor jack
to work underneath, be sure the vehicle is
safely supported on stand s intended for this
purpose.
Front lifting point
The lifting point is located on the floor pan re­
i nforcement about at the same level as the
jack mounting point
¢ fig. 215 . Do not lift
the vehicle at the vertical sill reinforcement.
Rear lifting point
The lifting point is located on the vertical rein ­
forcement of the lower sill for the on-board
jack
¢fig. 216.
Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer to ¢page 262.
A WARNING ,= -
-To reduce the risk of serious injury and
veh icle damage.
- Always lift the vehicle only at the spe­
cia l workshop hoist and floor jack lift
points illustrated
¢ fig . 215 and
¢ fig. 216 .
-Failure to lift the vehicle at these
points could cause the vehicle to tilt or
fall from a lift if there is a change in ve­
hicle weight distribution and balance.
This might happen, for example, when heavy components such as the eng ine
block or transmission are removed .
