Introduction
The jack supplied with the vehicle is designed only for changing a wheel when one vehicle tyre is damaged and has to
be replaced. If both tyres on one side of the vehicle, both tyres on one axle, or all tyres are damaged, contact a
correspondingly qualified workshop.
Only change the wheel yourself when the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the necessary actions
and safety procedures and you have access to all the correct tools. Otherwise, consult a suitably qualified workshop.
WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, especially when carried out at the side of a road. Please note the following
steps in order to reduce the risk of serious injuries:
● Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so. To change the wheel, park the vehicle at a safe distance
from moving traffic.
● All passengers and children in particular must be at a safe distance and away from your area of work during the
wheel change.
● Switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users.
● Make sure that the surface the vehicle is parked on is level and firm. If necessary, use a large, strong board or
similar support for the jack.
● Change the wheel yourself only if you are familiar with the necessary actions. Otherwise, consult a suitably
qualified workshop.
● Always use suitable and undamaged tools to change the wheel.
● To reduce the risk of unintended vehicle movement, always switch off the engine and move the selector lever to
position P.
● Apply the electronic parking brake.
● The wheel bolt tightening torque should be checked with a correctly functioning torque wrench immediately after
changing a wheel.
● If your vehicle is equipped with a Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator, you must immediately adapt the system again after
a wheel change (→ Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator).
