Technical Data
Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with a lifting jack in order to be able to
take off the wheel.Place the jack under the vehicle. Re cesses are located at the lower sill
(front and rear) ⇒fig. 172 . There is a point under the recess where the
lifting jack can be positioned, see arrows ⇒fig. 172 .
– 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.
– Position the lifting jack so that the claw grasps the web of the lower sill and the moving base plate of the lifting jack is resting flat
against 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 ne cessary 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 slip-
ping off - risk of injury!
•
Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result in
damage to the vehicle. The jack can also sl ip off if it does not have sufficient
grip - risk of injury!
•
It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if
you wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!
Securing wheels against being stolen*
You need a special adapter for slackening the safety wheel bolts.– Pull off the full wheel trim/cap from the wheel hub or cap from the safety wheel bolt.
– Insert the adapter with its toothed side fully into the inner toothing of the safety wheel bolt right down in such a way that only the
outer hexagon is jutting out ⇒fig. 173 .
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the adapter .
– Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly ⇒page 188.
