Changing a wheel Fig. 131
Changing a wheel: loosen wheel
bolts with the socket at the end of the wheel
brace Removing the wheel
● Loosen the wheel bolts ››› page 175 .
● Jacking up the vehicle ››› page 177.
● Using the hexagonal socket in the wheel
brace ››› Fig. 131 , unscrew the slackened
wheel bo
lts and place them on a clean sur-
face.
● Take off the wheel.
How to use the spare wheel or temporary
spare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre
››› page 167, Tyre code.
● Plac

e the spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel into position. ●
Replace the wheel bolts and tighten slight-
ly using the hexagonal socket on the end of the wheel br
ace.
● To tighten the anti-theft locking wheel bolts
use the corresponding adaptor.
● Lower the car with the jack.
● Tighten all of the wheel bolts clockwise
››› . Tighten the bolts in diagonal pairs (not
in a circle).
● Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on
››› page 174 . WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not treated suitably or
not tightened to the correct torque then this
could lead to loss of vehicle control and to a
serious accident.
● All the wheel bolts and hub threads should
be clean and free of oil and grease. The wheel
bolts should be easily tightened to the cor-
rect torque.
● The hexagonal socket in the wheel brace
should be used for turning wheel bolts only.
Do not use it to loosen or tighten the wheel
bolts. After changing the wheel
●
Clean the vehicle tools, if necessary and
put them away in the luggage compartment
foam holder ›››
page 172 . ●
St or
e the spare wheel, the temporary spare
wheel or the changed wheel securely in the
luggage compartment.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench ››› page 176
.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
possible.
Tyre repair
TMS (Tyre Mobility System)* The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the
penetration of a foreign body of up to about
4 mm
in diameter.
Do not remove foreign ob-
j

ects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
you must again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tire mobility set if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and you have the
necessary tire mobility set! Otherwise, you
should seek professional assistance.
The tyre sealant must not be used in the
following cases: ● If the wheel rim has been damaged.

toring system 1)
Air bleed screw 2)
ON/OFF switch
12 volt connector
Bottle of sealant
Spare tyre valve
The valve insert remover
1 has a gap at the
lower end for a valve insert. The valve insert
can only be screwed or unscrewed in this
way. This also applies to its replacement part 11 .
Sealing and inflating a tyre Sealing a tyre
● Unscrew the tyre valve cap.
● Use the corresponding enclosed extractor
››› Fig. 132 1 to unscrew the tyre valve in-
sert. Place the valve insert on a clean surface.
● Vigorously shake the sealant bottle
››› Fig. 132 10 for several seconds.
● Screw the inflator tube ›››

11 direction. The seal on the mouth of the bottle
moves automatically.
●
Remove the lid from the filling tube
››› Fig. 132 3 and screw the open end of the
tube into the tyre valve.
● Hold the tyre sealant can upside down and
fill the complete contents of the can into the
ty r
e.
● Remove the tyre sealant bottle from the
valve.
● Screw the valve insert again with the corre-
sponding enclosed extractor ››› Fig. 132 1 into the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
●
Securely screw the tyre inflator tube
››› Fig. 132 5 of the compressor into the tyre
valve.
● Check whether the air bleed screw
››› Fig. 132 7 is closed.
● Start the vehicle engine and leave it run-
ning.
● Attach the connector ››› Fig. 132 9 to a 12
volt socket of the vehicle ››› page 72.
● Connect the air compressor with the
ON/OFF switch ››› Fig. 132 8 .●
Keep the air compressor running until it
reaches 2.0 to 2.5 bar (29-36 psi /
200-250 kPa) ››› .
Maximum operation time
8 minut e

s ››› .
● Disconnect the air compressor.
● If it is not possible to achieve an air pres-
sure of 2.0 to 2.5 bar (29-36 psi /
200-250 kPa), unscrew the tyre inflator tube
from the tyre valve.
● Move the vehicle some 10 metres forward
or backward so that the sealant is evenly dis-
tributed in the tyre interior.
● Securely screw the compressor tyre inflator
tube into the tyre valve and repeat the infla-
tion process.
● If the indicated pressure can still not be
reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The
tyre cannot be sealed with the anti-puncture
kit. Do not continue driving. You should ob-
tain professional assistance ››› .
● Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew
the flexible inflator tube from the tyre valve.
● When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, immediately continue driving with-
out exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
● After 10 minutes
, Check the pressure again

Advice
CAUTION
● Carefully fit and remove the towline anchor-
age and its cover to avoid damage to the ve-
hicle (e.g. paintwork).
● When towing, fuel could enter the catalytic
converter and cause damage! Note
Fitting a towline anchorage to the rear bump-
er is not possible. The vehicle is not suitable
for towing other vehicles. Instructions for tow starting
In general, the vehicle should not be started
by towing. Jump-starting is much more pref-
erable
›
› ›
page 181.
For technical reasons, the following vehicles
can
not be tow started:
● Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
● If the vehicle battery is flat, it is possible
that the engine control unit does not operate
correctly.
However, if your vehicle must absolutely be
tow-started (manual gearbox):
● Put it into second or third gear.
● Keep the clutch pressed down. ●
Switch on the ignition and the hazard warn-
ing lights.
● Release the clutch when both vehicles are
moving.
● As soon as the engine starts, press the
clutch and move the gear lever into neutral.
This helps to prevent a collision with the tow-
ing vehicle. CAUTION
When tow-starting, fuel could enter the cata-
lytic converter and damage it. Notes on towing
Tow rope or tow bar
When towing, the tow bar is the safest and
vehicle friendly way. You should only use a
tow rope if you do not have a tow bar.
A tow rope should be slightly elastic to avoid
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to
use a tow rope made of synthetic fibre or sim-
ilarly elastic material.
Only secure the tow rope or tow bar to the
towline anchorage or specially designed fit-
ting.
Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox
Note the following for a towed vehicle:●
Make sure the gear selector lever is in the N
position.
● Do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph)
when towing a vehicle.
● Do not tow further than 50 km (30 miles).
● If a breakdown truck is used, the vehicle
must be towed with the front wheels raised.
Situations in which the vehicle should not be
towed
In the following cases, the vehicle should not
be towed but transported on a trailer or spe-
cial vehicle:
● If the vehicle gearbox does not contain lu-
bricant due to a fault.
● If the battery is flat and the steering cannot
be unlocked as a result, the electronic steer-
ing lock and electronic parking brake cannot
be disengaged.
● If the vehicle to be towed has an automatic
gearbox and the distance to be covered is
greater than 50 km (30 miles). Note
The vehicle can only be towed if the steering
lock electronic gearbox lock is deactivated. If
the vehicle has no power supply or there is
an electric system fault, the engine must be
started using jump leads to deactivate the
steering column electronic gearbox lock. 184
