1 On vehicles with lowered rear axle it may be necessary to remove the fender in order to hold the vehicle by the wheels.

Alternatively the semitrailer tractor (uncoupled) can be raised by the joints of the rear axle control arms and lowered onto wooden blocks so that it can then be pi-
cked up again.
Ë
Any application of force in the end crossmember is
not permissible on semitrailer tractors with weight-
optimized end crossmember. Weight-optimized end
crossmembers do not have the hole pattern for a
trailer hitch, are 3.5 mm thick and have the stamped
object number A 960 312 29 35.
If you are towing the vehicle with the rear axle raised, pay
attention to the clearance of the front spoiler and underride
guard. If the clearance is not adequate, remove the front
spoiler and/or the underride guard.
