4.6 Changing a tyre
Changing a tyre
• Place a rm base, such as a piece of wood, underneath
the car jack if the vehicle is on soft ground.
• Insert the car jack into the appropriate mounting holes.
• Turn the wheel spanner one full circle to loosen the wheel
mounting screws, but do not remove them.
• Jack up the vehicle until the wheel is 2 -3 cm above the
ground.
• Reset the car jack if it slips while the vehicle is being jacked up.
• Remove the wheel mounting screws and lift o the tyre.
• Place the spare tyre (not included in the scope of delivery)
on the wheel hub and align it.
• Screw the bolts on and tighten them in a diagonal sequence.
• Lower the car jack and remove it.
After changing the tyre, the wheel screws must be exa-
mined (after a 50 km drive) to ensure that they are tight
enough (tighten if necessary).
The car jack (not included in the scope of delivery) may
only be inserted in the appropriate mounting holes! If
the car jack is attached in other places, this may cause
damage to the vehicle or even accidents if the vehicle falls
o the jack.
The car jack is to be used only for changing tyres. It may
never be used when working underneath the vehicle!
Danger of death!
The levelling supports* may not be used as a car jack!
Preparing to change the tyre
• Park the vehicle on a surface that is as level and rm as
possible.
• Should there be a blowout on a public road, switch on the
warning lights and set up the warning triangle.
• Pull the hand brake, shift to rst gear and align the wheels
so that they are straight.
• If necessary, place chocks in front of and behind the wheel
that is still in good order so as to secure the vehicle.
• Tighten the wheel mounting screws evenly with the wheel
spanner. Please refer to the operating instructions for
the base vehicle for the specied value of the tightening
torque of the wheel mounting screws.
When changing a tyre, please also observe the vehicle
manufacturer‘s operating instructions.
