A WARNING
- Please observe the manufacturers' safety
notes on the compressor and the instruc­
tions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
- If it was not possible to build up a tyre pres­
sure of 2.0 bar within 6 minutes this means
that the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not
drive on.
- Seek professional assistance if the repair of
a tyre puncture is not possible with the seal­
ing compound.
(!)) Note
Do not use the compressor for longer than
6 minutes at a time, as it could overheat.

wise -arrow-. To apply the necessary torque,
hold the box spanner near the end. If the wheel
bolt is very tight, you may be able to loosen it
by pushing down the end of the spanner care­
fully with your foot. Hold on to the car for sup­
port and take care not to slip.
.&_ WARNING
To avoid accidents, the wheel bolts should on­
ly be loosened slightly (one turn) before rais­
ing the vehicle with the jack*.

An adapter is required to unscrew or tighten the anti-theft
wheel bolts � page 244. Mobility
Raising the vehicle
Fig. 231 Sills: markings (example)
Fig. 232 Door sill: Applying the jack under the door sill
.,. Always
provide a firm base for the jack* on the
ground. (The jack can be found in the vehicle's
tool kit). If necessary use a large, strong board
or similar support. On a hard, slippery surface
(such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to
prevent the jack from slipping ¢ ,,&.
.,. Locate the marking on the door sill closest to
the wheel being changed ¢ Fig. 231. The jack­
ing point is located behind the marking under
the door sill.
.,. Wind up the jack* under the jacking point until
the claw @¢ Fig. 232 of the jack is directly be­
low the jacking point .
.,. Align the jack* so that the claw @ grips the
jacking point under the door sill and the mova­
ble base plate of the jack @ is flat on the
ground. The base plate @ must be positioned
vertically underneath the jacking point@ .
.,. Raise the vehicle until the defective wheel is
clear of the ground.

.&_ WARNING
- Make sure the jack* is stable. If the ground
underneath the jack* is slippery or soft, the
jack can slip or sink in -risk of injury!
- Use only the jack* supplied with your vehicle
to raise the vehicle. If you use a jack from a
different vehicle, your vehicle may slip off
the jack -risk of injury!
- Apply the jack* only at the jacking points Lo­
cated behind the markings on the door sill
and align it properly. Otherwise there is a
risk of injury since the jack* can slip off sud­
denly if it is not properly engaged.
- The height of the parked vehicle can change
as a result of variations in Loading.
- Never start the engine when the vehicle is
on the jack -risk of accident!
- If work has to be done under the vehicle, en­
sure that it is safely supported on suitable
stands -risk of injury!
CD CAUTION
The vehicle must not be lifted up on its sills.
Only apply the jack* at the jacking points Loca­
ted behind the markings on the door sill. Oth­
erwise your vehicle could be damaged.

Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be
used on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Sheu ld you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the compact
temporary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to
the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel
to replace the punctured front wheel.
A WARNING
- The tyre pressure must be checked as soon
as possible after fitting the spare wheel-an
incorrectly inflated tyre can increase the risk
of accident. You can find the tyre pressures
here ¢ page 233, Fig. 220.
- Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the
compact temporary spare wheel is fitted -
higher speeds can cause an accident.
- Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering when the compact temporary
spare wheel is fitted -risk of accident!
- Never use two or more compact spare tyres
at the same time -risk of accident!
- No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyres) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel.
]ump-starting Before starting the engine
If necessary, the engine can be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis­
charged battery, the battery can be connected to
the battery of another vehicle to start the engine.
Suitable jump Leads are required.
Both batteries must be rated at 12 Volts. The ca­
pacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not be
significantly lower than that of the discharged
battery.
Jump Leads
The jump Leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
248 Only
use jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable -usually red.
Negative cable -usually black.
A WARNING
- When it is discharged the battery can freeze
at temperatures around 0°
(. A frozen bat­
tery must first be thawed out before con­
necting the jump leads, as it could other­
wise explode.
- Note the safety warnings referring to work­
ing in the engine compartment ¢ page 220.
(© Note
- There must be no contact between the two
vehicles as otherwise current could flow as
soon as the positive terminals are connec­
ted and the boosting battery could be dis­
charged.
- The disch arged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
- Switch off the car telephone if necessary.
Details will be given in the manufacturer's
instructions for the car telephone.

cle: A -Discharged battery, B -Boosting battery
Please note that the described method of con­
necting the leads is meant for jump-starting your
vehicle.
Preparations
1. Do not attempt to jump-start a vehicle with a
battery which has been frozen. If a battery
has frozen it must be replaced.
2. Apply the handbrake and move the gear lever
to neutral (manual gearbox) or move these­
lector Lever to P (automatic gearbox).
3. Switch off all electrical equipment and the ig-
nition on both vehicles.

ative terminal@ of the boosting [email protected] the other end of the black jump lead
to the negative terminal (bolt head) © of the
jump-start connection@ in your vehicle.
9.
Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with any mov­
ing parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
10. Start the engine of the vehicle with the
boosting battery and let it run at idling
speed.
11. Start the engine of the car with the dis­
charged battery and wait two or three mi­
nutes until the engine is running smoothly.
12. If the engine fails to start: do not operate the
starter for longer than 10 seconds. Wait for
about 30 seconds and try again.
13. Switch
on the blower and the rear window
heating on the vehicle which has been jump­
started in order to offset excessive voltage
which may occur when disconnecting the
leads. The headlights must be switched off!
14. When the engines are running, disconnect
the leads in exactly the opposite sequence to
that described on¢ page 249, Connecting
and disconnecting the jump leads. Make sure
that the leads cannot come into contact with
any moving parts in the engine compart­
ment.
15. Close the cap on the positive terminal.
16. Switch off the blower and the rear window
heating again.
_& WARNING
- The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the
vehicle: this can cause short circuiting.
- Do not lean over the batteries -risk of acid
burns!
- The screw plugs on the battery cells must be
screwed in firmly.

scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than 50 km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- To wing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
@ Note
- Automatic gearbox: It is not possible to
move the selector lever out of position P if
the electrical power supply fails. Before the
