⇒ Lifting the vehicle with the jack
⇒ Changing a wheel
⇒ After changing a wheel
Some models are delivered without a factory-fitted jack or box spanner. If this is the case, the wheel 
should be changed by a qualified workshop.
The vehicle jack supplied with the vehicle is only designed for changing a wheel when one vehicle 
tyre is damaged and has to be replaced. Seek expert assistance if both tyres on one side of the 
vehicle, both tyres on one axle, or all tyres are damaged.
Only change the wheel yourself when the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the 
necessary steps and safety procedures and you have access to all the correct tools. Seek expert 
assistance if this is not the case.

Follow the instructions to change the affected bulb . Always use identical bulbs with the 
same designation. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on 
the base.
Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. The heat of the bulb would 
cause the fingerprint to evaporate and condense on the reflector. This will impair the 
brightness of the headlight.
After changing the bulb, check to ensure that the bulb is working properly. If the bulb is not 
working properly, the bulb may not have been inserted properly or may have failed again, 
or the connector may have been inserted incorrectly.
Any time you change a bulb in the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be 
checked by a qualified workshop.

Starting the engine with jump leads
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ How to start the engine using jump leads
If the engine fails to start because the vehicle battery is flat, the flat battery can be connected to the 
battery of another vehicle to start the engine. Before using jump leads, check the window on the 
vehicle battery ⇒ Vehicle battery.
Jump leads must comply with DIN 72553 (see manufacturer's documentationyf   2 Q  S H W U R O  H Q J L Q H  
vehicles, the conductor must have a cross-section of at least 25 mm.

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Vehicle with discharged battery that is being jump-started.
Vehicle with vehicle battery that is supplying power and jump-starting the other vehicle.
Suitable earth connection. A solid metal part that is firmly bolted to the engine block, the 
engine block itself or, where fitted, the screwed-in towing eye at the front ⇒ Tow-starting and 
towing.
Using the jump leads incorrectly or completing the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause 
the battery to explode, which can lead to severe injuries. Please note the following in order to 
reduce the risk of the battery exploding:

Page 206 of 211

The discharged vehicle battery must be properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
The vehicles must not touch. Otherwise electricity could flow as soon as the positive terminals are 
connected.
Ensure that the battery clamps have good metal-to-metal contact with the battery terminals.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch off the starter after about 10 seconds and try again 
after about half a minute.
The steps should only be carried out in the specified order.

⇒ Fitting the front towing eye
⇒ Driving tips when towing
Observe any legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.
For technical reasons, vehicles with a discharged battery must not be tow-started.
For technical reasons, vehicles with an automated manual gearbox must not be tow started 
unless it has been ascertained that the gearbox is in position N⇒ When a vehicle with an 
automated manual gearbox has to be towed:.
Towing a vehicle when the engine is switched off and the ignition is switched on discharges the 
vehicle battery. In some vehicles battery charge level, the drop in voltage can be large enough after 
just a few minutes that electrical consumers in the vehicle will no longer function, e.g. the hazard 
warning lights.
