WARNING
Slacken the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) as long as the
vehicle has not yet been jacked up - risk of an accident!.
Note
apply pressure carefully with your foot to the end of the wheel wrench if it
proves difficult to slacken the wheel bolts. Hold tight on the vehicle when
doing this and ensure that you have a steady position.
Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with a lifting jack in order to
be able to take off the wheel.
Position the lifting jack by selecting the jacking point which is
closest to the wheel to be removed ⇒fig. 210 . The jacking point is located directly below the engraving in the lower sill. The
engraving is only visible after opening the door.
– Position the lifting jack below the jacking point and move it up
until its claw is positioned directly below the vertical web of the
lower sill.
– Align the car jack so that its claw grasps the web of the lower sill and the base plate is resting flat on the floor.
– Turn the lifting jack up further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery can cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack. It is therefore always necessary to place the
lifting jack on a solid surface or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-
slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the surface is smooth, such as
cobbled stones, a tiled floor,etc.
WARNING
•Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!
•Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack
from slipping off - risk of injury!
•Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result
in damage to the vehicle. The jack can also slip off if it does not
have sufficient grip - risk of injury!
•It is important to support the ve hicle with suitable supporting
blocks if you wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!Fig. 210 Changing a
