Preparing the vehicle
Prepare the vehicle as described
(
୴ page 548).
̈ Prevent the vehicle from rolling away
using chocks or similar.
On a level road:
̈ Place the chocks in front of and be-
hind the wheel diagonally opposite
to the wheel that is to be changed.
̈ Take the vehicle tool kit and the jack
from the footwell on the passenger’s
side (
୴ page 515).
̈ Remove the spare wheel from the
spare wheel bracket ( ୴ page 517).
̈ For wheels with wheel bolts remove
the wheel cover.
Wheel with wheel bolts
̈ Loosen the wheel bolts and nuts on
the wheel you wish to change about
one turn. Do not remove them.
As an extension for the wheel
wrench, use the shaft from the jack’s
3-part pump lever that has the larg-
est diameter.
Warning
G
The vehicle could slip off the jack on uphill
and downhill gradients.
To avoid the risk of causing serious or fa-
tal injury, or damage to the vehicle, do not
change wheels on uphill and downhill gra-
dients.
