Turn the wheel bolt approx. one turn anti-clock-
wise. To apply the necessary torque, hold the
box spanner* near the end. If the wheel bolt is
very tight, you may be able to loosen it by push-
ing down the end of the spanner* carefully with
your foot. Hold on to the car for support and
take care not to slip.
Wind up the jack under the jacking point on the
underside of the door sill using the hexagon
socket 3 (from the vehicle toolkit) until the cy-
lindrical part of the arm 1 ðFig. 219 of the
jack is below the plastic mount.
Align the jack so that the cylindrical part of the
arm 1 fits in the plastic mount under the door
sill and the base plate 2 of the jack is flat on
the ground. The base plate 2 must be posi-
tioned vertically underneath the jacking
point 1 .
To raise the vehicle, insert the correct side of
the ratchet handle 4 (from the vehicle toolkit)
onto the hexagon socket 3 .
Move the ratchet handle 4 back and forth in a
clockwise direction until the wheel is clear of
the ground.

WARNING
To avoid accidents, the wheel bolts should on-
ly be loosened slightly (one turn) before rais-
ing the vehicle with the jack*.

Raising the vehicle
Applies to: vehicles with jack
WARNING
– Ensure that no one is in the vehicle before
you lift it – risk of injury!
– Make sure the jack is stable. If the ground
underneath the jack is slippery or soft, the
jack can slip or sink in – risk of injury!
– Use only the jack supplied with your vehicle
to raise the vehicle. If you use a jack from a
different vehicle, your vehicle may slip off
the jack – risk of injury!
Fig. 218 Sills: markings
– Apply the jack only at the jacking points lo-
cated behind the markings on the door sill
and align it properly. Otherwise there is a
risk of injury since the jack can slip off sud-
denly if it is not properly engaged.
– Do not use the jack provided with the vehicle
to lift any other vehicles or loads – risk of in-
jury!

Always provide a firm base for the jack on the
ground (the jack can be found in the vehicle
toolkit). If necessary use a large, strong board
