defines the maximum vehicle speed with mounted all-season or “winter”tyres that may not be exceeded.
Snow chains
The snow chains improve driving in wintry road conditions.
Remove the full wheel trims before installing the snow chains » page 293.
Only fit snow chains with links and locks no larger than 12 mm.
Snow chains must only be fitted on the front wheels and are applicable only to
the following wheel rim / tyre combinations.

Changing a wheel
Preliminary work
For safety's sake, the following instructions must be observed before
changing a wheel on the road.
›
As far as possible, park the vehicle far away from the traffic flow - find a
place with a flat and firm surface.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
For vehicles with manual transmission , select 1st gear.
›
For vehicles with
automatic transmission , place the selector lever in the P
position.
›
Switch on the parking brake.
›
Position the hazard warning system and the warning triangle at the prescri-
bed distance.
›
All the occupants should get out of the vehicle. The passengers should not
stand on the road (instead they should remain behind a crash barrier, for in-
stance) while the wheel is being changed.
›
Uncouple any trailers.

Changing a wheel›
Take out the emergency or spare wheel » page 292.
›
Remove the full wheel trim » page 293 or caps » page 294 .
›
Loosen the wheel bolts » page 294 » .
›
Jack up the vehicle » page 295 until the wheel that needs changing is clear of
the ground.
›
Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,
etc.).
›
Remove the wheel carefully.
›
Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.
›
Lower the vehicle.
›
Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“alter- nating crosswise”) » page 294.
›
Replace the wheel trim » page 293and the caps » page 294.
When fitting a wheel with unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of ro-
tation is correct » page 286.
All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If the screws are corroded and dif-
ficult to move, then these must be replaced.
WARNING■ Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn) while the vehicle is not
jacked up. Otherwise, the wheel could come off and fall down – there is a
risk of injury.■
Under no circumstances grease or oil the wheel bolts - risk of accident!
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage
compartment and secure with a locking screw.
›
Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.
›
Check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressure on the assembled wheel,
and, for vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values
in the system » page 260.
›
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked with a torque wrench
as soon as possible. The prescribed tightening torque is 140 Nm.
Replace the damaged tyre. It is not recommended to repair the tyre.
WARNINGA tightening torque which is too high can damage the bolts and threads
and this can result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on
the rim. Too low tightening torque, the wheels may fall off while driving -
risk of an accident. Drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed until the
tightening torque has been checked.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Jump-starting using the battery from another vehicle

When handling the vehicle battery, the following warnings must be ob-
served » page 283 . 
297Emergency equipment and self-help

WARNING (Continued)■A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just be-
low 0 °C. If the battery is frozen, do not carry out a jump start with the bat-
tery of another vehicle – risk of explosion!■
Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an acid level that is too low – risk
of explosion and caustic burns!
Jump-starting using the battery from another vehicle
Fig. 350
Jump-starting:  - Discharged battery,
 - power-supplying bat-
tery / ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe
on page 297 first.
If it is not possible to start the engine due to a discharged vehicle battery, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. Only use jump-start
cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12V. The capacity (Ah) of the
current-giving battery must not be significantly less than the capacity of the
discharged battery in your vehicle.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
›
Attach clamp
1
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
›
Attach clamp
2
to the positive terminal of the current-giving battery.
›
Attach clamp
3
to the negative terminal of the current-giving battery.
›
For vehicles with the START-STOP system, secure the clamp
4
to the
ground point of the engine
A
» Fig. 350 .
›
For vehicles without the START-STOP system, secure the clamp
4
to a solid
metal part that is firmly attached to the engine block or secure to the engine
block directly.
Starting engine›Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.›
Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
WARNING■
Never clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery - danger of explosion.■
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – risk of short circuit!
■
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehicle
– risk of short circuit!
■
Route the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts
in the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-
age.
