GWarning!
When jacking up the vehicle, only use a
suitable jack. Observe the manufacturer’s
safety instructions.
The jack must be designed for jacking up
this vehicle at the jack take-up brackets
built into both sides of the vehicle.
The jack is intended only for lifting the
vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not
suited for performing maintenance work
under the vehicle. To help avoid personal
injury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle
during a wheel change.
Never get beneath the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. Keep hands and feet
away from the area under the lifted vehicle.
Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient
capacity jackstands before working under
the vehicle.
Always firmly engage the parking brake and
block the wheels with wheel chocks or other
sizeable objects before raising the
vehicle with the jack. Do not release the
parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
Make sure the ground on which the vehicle
is standing and where you place the jack is
solid, level and not slippery. If necessary,
use a large underlay. On slippery surfaces,
such as tiled floors, you should use a non-
slip underlay, for example a rubber mat.
Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
to support the jack. Otherwise the jack may
not be able to achieve its load-bearing
capacity if it is not at its full height.
The jack must always be vertical when in
use. Always try to use the jack on level
surface. If you do not position the jack
correctly, the vehicle can fall off the jack
and seriously or fatally injure you or
others.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
Also observe the notes on the jack.XMake sure to have a suitable jack 18
, wheel
wrench 18
and wheel chock 18
.
Contact an authorized smart center for
information on which jack and wheel
wrench are required.XPrepare the vehicle as described
( Y page 193).XMake sure the surface is level.
Prevent the vehicle from rolling away by
blocking wheels with wheel chocks or other
sizeable objects:
XPlace one wheel chock or other sizeable
object in front of and another wheel
chock or other sizeable object behind
the wheel that is diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed.18 Not included and not available as factory equipment.Wheel change193>> Practical hints.BA 451 USA, CA Edition A 2011; 1; 4, en-UShereepeVersion: 3.0.3.62010-05-11T15:12:26+02:00 - Seite 193Z
