Raise vehicle You have to raise the vehicle with the 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. 170
. There is a point under the recess where the
lifting jack* can be po
sitioned, see arrows
⇒
fig. 170
.
– Position the lifting jack* below the jacking point and move it up until
its claw is positioned di
rectly 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
⇒
