Vehicles may also have:
– Tool box*
– Wheel bolt spanner
– Wire hook* for wheel trims
– Open jaw spanner 10 x 13
– Screwdriver with box spanner in handle for the wheel bolts. The
screwdriver blade is reversible.
– Jack
Before the jack is placed back into the tool box, the claw must be
fully wound back. The crank is then tensioned against the side of
the jack.
Some light alloy wheels have the caps on the wheel screws. A
special wire hook is provided with the tool box to remove them.
Place the hook in the orifice on the cap and pull to remove

Carry out wheel change on as flat a surface as possible.
• Take the tools out of the vehicle.
• Take spare wheel out of bracket.
• To remove wheel trim:
– Remove wheel bolt caps.
– Remove hub cap or wheel trim with the wheel spanner and the
wire hook.
K
Wheel trims
• Push the wheel spanner as far as possible onto the wheel bolt⇒
fig. 176and turn the spanner anti-clockwise. When doing this, grip
the spanner as far as possible towards the lever end. If the bolts cannot be loosened, one can in an emergency, carefully
push the spanner down with a foot on the end of the lever. One
should ensure that one has a firm stance and a good grip on the
vehicle.
Loosen wheel bolts about one turn.
Refer to page 214 for notes on loosening the anti-theft wheel
bolts*.

General notes
• Check whether there are any local traffic regulations concerning
the towing of vehicles.
• The tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the risk of
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to use synthetic fibre
ropes, or ropes of similar elastic material. I It

Avoid excessive towing effort and do not jerk. During towing
operations on other than surfaced roadsthere is always the danger
that the attachment points will be overloaded and damaged.

.• Both drivers must be familiar with towing procedures.
Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow start or tow.
• When using a tow-rope the driver of the towing vehicle must
engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.
• The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure that the tow-
rope is always taut.
• The emergency lights must be switched on in both vehicles –
unless local regulations differ.
• Turn ignition on so that the steering wheel is free and the turn
signals, horn, and, if necessary, the windscreen wiper and washer
can be used.
• As the brake servo only works when the engine is running,
considerably more pressure is required on the brake pedal when
the engine is not running.
• More force than usual will be required to turn the steering wheel
as the power assisted steering does not work when engine is not
running.
• When there is no lubricant in the manual or automatic gearbox,
the vehicle may only be towed with driving wheels lifted.

It is not recommended to tow start a vehicle. We recommend the use of
another vehicle’s battery. Check the "Start up help" chapter.
There are various reasons why a vehicle should n no
ot
t
be tow started:
• When towing there is a danger of colliding with the towed
vehicle.

, the following
points must be noted in addition to the details on the previous
page:
• Selector lever at “N N
”.
• Do not have the vehicle towed faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Do not tow further than 30 miles (50 kilometres).
If the vehicle has to be towed long distances it must be lifted at the
front.
Reason: When the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump is
not working and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for high
speeds or long distances.
• With a breakdown vehicle the vehicle may only be suspended at
the front.
Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, the drive shafts turn
backwards. The planetary gears in the automatic gearbox then turn
at such high speeds that the gearbox will be severely damaged in
a short time.

These values were calculated without extra equipment reducing
performance, such as air conditioning, mud flaps, extra wide tyres,
etc.
K
Fuel Consumption
The consumption and emission levels were calculated using the
93/116/CE measuring standards and take into account the true
free-standing weight of the vehicle (weight category). To measure
the fuel consumption the vehicle is tested in two different cycles
on a rolling bench under the following conditions:

• The consumption and emission levels given in the following tables are
correct for unloaded vehicles with basic fittings. If there are extra
fittings, the empty weight will increase and, as a result, the weight
category, which may slightly increase the consumption and CO
2levels.
Consult a Technical Service Centre to find out the exact specifications of
your vehicle.
• Driving style, road and traffic conditions, weather conditionsand the
condition of the vehicle will, in practice, produce consumption levels
different to those indicated.
