Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with the lifting jack* in order to be able to
take off the wheel.
Position the lifting jack* by selecting the jacking point which is closest to the wheel to
be removed  fig. 199. The jacking point is located directly below the engraving in the
lower sill.
– Position the lifting jack* below the jacking point and move it up until its claw is
positioned directly below the vertical web of the lower sill.
– Align the lifting jack* so that its claw grasps the web of the lower sill and the
base plate is resting flat on the floor.
– Turn the lifting jack* up further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery can cause the vehicle to slip
off the jack. It is therefore always necessary to place the lifting jack* on a solid surface
or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the
surface is smooth, such as cobbled stones, a tiled floor, etc.
WARNING
 Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!
 Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack from slipping
off - risk of injury!
 Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result in damage
to the vehicle. The jack can also slip off if it does not have sufficient grip - risk of
injury!
 It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if you
wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!
Securing wheels against being stolen*
You need a special adapter for slackening the safety wheel bolts.
– Pull off the full wheel trim/cap from the wheel hub or cap from the safety wheel
bolt.
– Insert the adapter  fig. 200 with its toothed side fully into the inner toothing
of the safety wheel bolt in such a way that only the outer hexagon is jutting out
 fig. 200.
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the adapter .
– Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly  page 239.
– Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter or place the cap
onto the safety wheel bolt.
– Have the tightening torque checked with a torque wrench as soon as possible.
Steel and light alloy wheels must be tightened to a tightening torque of 120 Nm.
