Emergency equipment and self-help

When fitting a wheel with unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of ro-

tation is correct » page 119.

CAUTION

Screw the jack back to its starting position prior to putting it back in its box -

otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the box.

All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If screws are corroded and diffi-

cult to move, these must be replaced.

Note

The declaration of conformity is included with the jack or the log folder.

WARNING

■

Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn), provided the vehicle

has not yet been jacked up. Otherwise the wheel could come loose and fall

off – risk of injury.

Under no circumstances must the bolts be greased or oiled - cause an ac-

cident.

For safety's sake, the following instructions must be observed before

changing a wheel on the road.

Subsequent steps

As far as possible park the vehicle as far as possible away from the traffic

flow - choose a place with a flat and firm surface.

Switch off the engine.

For vehicles with manual transmission select 1st gear.

For vehicles with automated transmission shift the lever to position D or R.

Firmly apply the handbrake.

Switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle at the

prescribed distance.

›

After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.

›

Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage

compartment and secure with a locking screw.

›

Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.

Check tyre pressure on the mounted wheel and adjust if necessary and, with

vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the

system » page 101.

›

Have all the occupants get out. The passengers should not stand on the

road while the wheel is being changed (they should remain behind a crash

barrier, for instance).

›

Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possible.

The prescribed tightening torque is 110 Nm.

›

Replace the damaged tyre. Repairing the tyre is not recommended.

Changing a wheel

WARNING

Remove the spare wheel » page 125.

Loosen the wheel bolts » page 126 »

Jack up the vehicle until the wheel that needs changing, is clear of the

ground » page 126.

›

Tightening torque which is too high can damage the threads and this can

result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim. Where

tightening torque is too low, the wheels may become loose while driving -

risk of accident. Therefore drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed

until the tightening torque has been checked.

Fig. 157 Jump-starting:  - discharged battery,  - power-supplying

battery/ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system

WARNING

A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard

tyre. The following guidelines must therefore be observed.

Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).

 Read and observe on page 129 first.

■

Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.

If, because of a discharged battery, it is not possible to start the engine, the

battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. To do this, jump-

start cables are required which have a sufficiently large cross-section and insu-

lated terminal clamps.

The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the

power-supplying battery must not be significantly lower than the capacity of

the discharged battery.

Conditions for towing.

The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery

must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehi-

cle – there is a risk of short circuit.

Position the jump cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts in

the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-

age.



Vehicles with automated manual transmission cannot be towed with

the rear wheels raised - risk of gearbox damage!

If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle

raised clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer.

■



The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.

The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer

if it is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the tow-

ing distance is greater than 50 km.

Driver of the towed vehicle

If possible, the vehicle should be towed with the engine running. The brake

booster and power steering only operate if the engine is running, otherwise

much greater force has to be applied to the brake pedal and more power has

to be expended for steering.

If it is not possible to start the engine, switch on the ignition so that the

steering wheel does not lock and so that the turn signal lights, windscreen

wipers and windscreen washer system can be used.

Bulbs

 Introduction

We recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other

expert help in the event of any uncertainties.

▶

Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.

Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-

tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.

 Read and observe and on page 134 first.

▶

The fuses are located underneath a cover next to the vehicle battery » Fig. 169.

We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage

after replacing a bulb in the low or high beam unit or the fog lamp.

Replacing fuses

Remove the ignition key, turn off the lights and all electrical consumers.

WARNING

■

Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the

engine compartment » page 112.

Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-

ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty

by other road users.

Bulbs H4, H7 and H8 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there

is a risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety

glasses when changing a bulb.

CAUTION

Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest

amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,

napkin, or similar.

Note

■

This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is

possible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising.

Other bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.

■

We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-

hicle.
