Vehicle toolkit  
Introduction to the topic  
Observe any country-specific legislation when securing your vehicle in the event of a breakdown.  
WARNING  
In the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or accident, a loose vehicle toolkit,  
breakdown set and spare wheel or temporary spare wheel could be flung though the vehicle  
and cause severe injuries.  
Ensure that the vehicle toolkit, breakdown set and spare wheel or temporary spare wheel  
are always properly secured in the luggage compartment.  
WARNING  
Unsuitable or damaged tools in the vehicle toolkit can lead to accidents and injuries.  
Never work with unsuitable or damaged tools from the vehicle toolkit.  
Stowage  
Fig. 1 In the luggage compartment: opening the luggage compartment floor.  
The vehicle toolkit may be located in various places in the vehicle, e.g. in the side stowage area  
of the luggage compartment or under the luggage compartment floor Fig. 1 .  
Remove the luggage net if necessary.  
Grip the recessed handle in the luggage compartment floor and lift it until it is held in position  
by the side restraints (arrows).  
NOTICE  
Never drop the luggage compartment floor; guide it slowly back down. The trims or the  
luggage compartment floor could otherwise be damaged.  
After using the jack, crank it back to its original position so that it can be stowed safely.  
Contents of the vehicle toolkit

Screwdriver with hexagon socket in the handle for unscrewing or tightening slackened  
wheel bolts. The screwdriver blade is reversible. The screwdriver may be stowed under the

bolt adapter in the vehicle toolkit at all times. The code number of the anti-theft wheel bolt

is lost. Make a note of the code number for the anti-theft wheel bolt and keep it in a safe
