Changing wheels/tires
General information
When using runflat tires or a flat tire kit, a
wheel does not always need to be changed
immediately in case of a breakdown when
there is a tire pressure loss due to a flat tire.
If needed, the appropriate tool for a wheel
change, e.g., a jack, is available as an acces-
sory from a dealer's service center, another
qualified service center or a repair shop.
Safety information
DANGER
The jack is only provided for short-term
lifting of the vehicle for wheel changes.
Even if all safety precautions are observed,
there is a risk of the raised vehicle falling,
if the jack tips over. There is a risk of in-
jury or danger to life. If the vehicle is
raised with the jack, do not lie under the
vehicle and do not start the engine.
Warning
Supports such as wooden blocks under
the jack reduce the load-carrying capacity
of the jack to bear weight. The load-carry-
ing capacity of the wooden blocks may be
exceeded and the vehicle may tip over.
There is a risk of injury or danger to life.
Do not place supports under the 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 change an
emergency or spare wheel in the event of
a breakdown.
Warning
On soft, uneven or slippery ground, for ex-
ample snow, ice, tiles, etc., the jack can
slip away. There is a risk of injury. If pos-
sible, change the wheel on a flat, solid, and
slip-resistant surface.
Warning
The jack is optimized for lifting the vehi-
cle and for the jacking points on the vehi-
cle only. There is a risk of injury. Do not
lift any other vehicle or cargo using the
jack.
Warning
When the jack is not inserted into the
jacking point provided for this purpose,
the vehicle may be damaged or the jack
may slip when it is being cranked up.
There is a risk of injury or risk of damage
to property. When cranking up the jack,
ensure that it is inserted in the jacking
point next to the wheel well.
