Transportation devices: removing block‐  
ing pieces from springs on front axle  
Blocking pieces are fitted to front axle springs for some vehicle  
versions. These vehicles are identified by a warning tag on the  
mirror -arrow-.  
Note  
The blocking pieces prevent the springs compressing and possi‐  
ble damage to the vehicle when being driven onto a vehicle  
transporter or railway wagon.  
WARNING  
The blocking pieces must be removed without reservation be‐  
fore delivering the vehicle. A “Warning” notice, attached to the  
interior mirror, specifically reminds of this.  
Carry out following procedure:  
Note  
There is no requirement to remove the wheels.
