Changing wheels/tires
General information
When using run-flat tires or a flat tire kit, a
wheel does not always need to be changed
immediately when there is a loss of tire in-
flation pressure due to a flat tire.
If needed, the tools for changing wheels are
available as accessories from a dealer’s
service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
Safety information
DANGER
The vehicle jack is only provided for short-
term lifting of the vehicle for wheel
changes. Even if all safety measures are
observed, there is a risk of the raised vehi-
cle falling, if the vehicle jack tips over.
There is a risk of injuries or danger to life.
If the vehicle is raised, do not lie under the
vehicle and do not start the engine.
DANGER
Supports such as wooden blocks under the
vehicle jack reduce the capacity of the ve-
hicle jack to bear weight. They have the
potential to exert too much strain on the
vehicle jack, causing it to tip over and the
vehicle to fall. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Do not place supports under
the vehicle jack.
WARNING
The jack, issued by the vehicle manufac-
turer, is provided in order to perform a
wheel change in the event of a breakdown.
The jack is not designed for frequent use;
for example, changing from summer to
winter tires. Using the jack frequently may
cause it to become jammed or damaged.
There is a risk of injury and risk of damage
to property. Only use the jack to attach an
emergency or spare wheel in the event of
a breakdown.
