Changing a wheel
Introduction
The jack supplied with the vehicle is de-
signed only for changing a wheel when one
vehicle tyre is damaged and has to be re-
placed. If both tyres on one side of the vehi-
cle, both tyres on one axle, or all tyres are
damaged, contact a correspondingly quali-
fied workshop.
Only change the wheel yourself when the
vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are fa-
miliar with the necessary actions and safe-
ty procedures and you have access to all
the correct tools! Otherwise, consult a suit-
ably
qualified workshop.
WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, es-
pecially 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 neces-
sary, 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 en-
gine and move the selector lever to po-
sition P.
Select a gear on vehicles with a manual
gearbox in order to reduce the risk of
unintended vehicle movement.
·
Switch on the electric 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 im-
mediately adapt the system again
after
a wheel change
