 until the wheel that needs changing is clear of

the ground.

›

Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,

etc.).

›

Remove the wheel carefully.

›

Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.

›

Lower the vehicle.

›

Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“alter-

nating crosswise”)

» page 286

.

›

Replace the wheel trim 

» page 285

and the caps 

» page 286

.

When fitting a wheel with unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of ro-

tation is correct 

» page 278

.

All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If the screws are corroded and

difficult to move, then these must be replaced.

WARNING

■

Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn) while the vehicle is not

jacked up. Otherwise, the wheel could come off and fall down – there is a

risk of injury.

■

Under no circumstances grease or oil the wheel bolts - risk of accident!

Subsequent steps

After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.

›

Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage

compartment and secure with a locking screw.

›

Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.

›

Check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressure on the assembled wheel,

and, for vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values

in the system 

» page 249

.

›

Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked with a torque wrench

as soon as possible. The prescribed tightening torque is 120 Nm.

Replace the damaged tyre. It is not recommended to repair the tyre.

WARNING

A tightening torque which is too high can damage the bolts and threads

and this can result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on

the rim. Too low tightening torque, the wheels may fall off while driving -

risk of an accident. Therefore, drive cautiously and only at a moderate

speed until the tightening torque has been checked.

battery/ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system



Read and observe   on page 290 first.

If it is not possible to start the engine due to a discharged vehicle battery, the

battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. Only use jump-start

cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insulated terminal

clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12V. The capacity (Ah) of the

current-giving battery must not be significantly less than the capacity of the

discharged battery in your vehicle.

The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.

›

Attach clamp 

1

 to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.

›

Attach clamp 

2

 to the positive terminal of the current-giving battery.

 to a solid

metal part that is firmly attached to the engine block or secure to the engine

block directly.

Starting engine

›

Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.

›

Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

›

If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure

and repeat after half a minute.

›

Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.

WARNING

■

Never clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-

charged battery - danger of explosion.

■

The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each

other – risk of short circuit!

■

The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery

must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehi-

cle – risk of short circuit!

■

Route the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts in

the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-

age.

WARNING

Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the

engine compartment 

» page 271

CAUTION

■

Replace the faulty fuse with a new one of the same amperage.

■

If a newly inserted fuse blows after a short time, then seek the assistance of

a specialist garage.

■

Do “not repair” the fuses and do not replace them with stronger ones - it can

cause a fire and could damage parts of the electrical system.

Note

■

We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle.

■

There can be several power consuming devices for one fuse. Multiple fuses

may exist for a single power consuming device.

Bulbs

Introduction

This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possi-

ble to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other

bulbs or LED lights must be replaced by a specialist garage.

For this reason, we recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or

seeking other expert help in the event of any uncertainties.

▶

Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.

▶

Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-

tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.

We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage

after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.

WARNING

■

Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the

engine compartment 

» page 271

.

■

Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-

ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty

by other road users.

■

H7 and H8 bulbs are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -

risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety

glasses when changing a bulb.

CAUTION

■

Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest

amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,

napkin, or similar.

■

The cap of the filament bulb must always be seated correctly in the head-

light, otherwise this may allow water and debris to enter the headlight - risk of

damage to the headlights.

Note

We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the vehi-

cle.
