bolts or wheel nuts are not tightened to the
prescribed tightening torque.
#
Make sure the wheel bolts or wheel
nuts are tightened to the prescribed
tightening torque.
#
If you are not sure, do not move the
vehicle. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop and have the tightening tor‐
que checked immediately.

Vehicles with front wheel drive
#
Front axle: position ratchet ring spanner
from the tyre-change tool kit on the hexagon
nut of the jack so that the lettering "AB" is
visible.
#
Rear axle: position the extension rod from
the tyre-change tool kit on the hexagon nut of
the jack and position ratchet ring spanner
from the tyre-change tool kit on the extension
rod until the lettering "AB" is visible.
#
To lower the vehicle: turn the ratchet ring
spanner of the jack anti-clockwise.
#
Tighten the wheel bolts or nuts evenly in the
sequence indicated (
1
to
6
).
Specified tightening torque:
R
Steel wheel bolts: 240 Nm
R
Wheel nuts: 180 Nm
R
Light-alloy wheel bolts: 180 Nm
Vehicles with rear wheel drive
Only use the middle rod and the pump lever rod
with the largest diameter for the jack as a wheel
wrench extension. Only insert the middle rod on
the wheel wrench, and always as far as it will go.
Otherwise, the rods could bend and deform so
much that they can no longer be used as pump
levers for the jack.
Vehicles with Super Single tyres: if you mount the
spare wheel to the rear axle, do not exceed the
maximum speed of 55 km/h and the maximum
distance of 100 km. Otherwise, the transmission
could be damaged due to the different rotational
speeds of the wheels.
#
Using the pump lever, slowly turn the drain
screw on the jack approximately one revolu‐
tion and carefully lower the vehicle.
#
Place the jack to one side.
#
Pull the rod with the smallest diameter off the
pump lever.
The shortened pump lever serves as a wheel
wrench extension.
#
Starting with the middle rod, slide the wheel
wrench extension as far as it will go onto the
wheel wrench.
