Tightening wheel bolts– Push the wheel wrench* fully onto the wheel bolt
7).
– Grasp the end of the wrench* and turn the bolt to the right until it is tight.
WARNING
Slacken the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) as long as the vehicle has
not yet been lifted with the lifting jack* - risk of accident!
Note
Apply pressure carefully with your foot to the end of the wrench* if it proves difficult
to slacken the bolts. Hold tight on the vehicl e when doing this and ensure that you have
a steady position.
Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with the lifting jack* in order to be able to
take off the wheel.Position the lifting jack* by selecting the ja cking point which is closest to the wheel to
be removed  fig. 138. 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* be low the jacking point and move it up until its claw is
positioned directly below the vertical web of the lower sill.
– Align the* lifting 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 which is soft and slippery below the base plate of the lifting jack* can cause
the vehicle to slip off the lifting jack*. It is therefore always necessary to place the lifting
jack* on a solid surface or use a wide an d 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
ï‚·
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!
ï‚·
Take suitable measures to prevent the ba se of the lifting jack* from slipping
off - risk of injury!
7)Use the appropriate adapter for slackening and tightening the safety wheel bolts page 165.
