Spare wheel Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel.
178 Vehicle care Temporary spare wheel Stowing a damaged full size wheel in the load compartment Caution The spare wheel well is not designed for other tyre sizes than the spare wheel. A damaged full size wheel must be stowed in the load compartment and secured with a strap. Vehicle tools 3 166. To secure the wheel: 1. Position the wheel on either side of the load compartment. The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres could affect driveability.
Vehicle care The following applies to tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction: ■ Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible. ■ Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces. Jump starting Do not start with a quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle. 9 Warning Be extremely careful when starting with jump leads.
180 Vehicle care ■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the jump starting process. ■ Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral, automatic transmission in P. Lead connection order: 1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster battery. 2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the discharged battery. 3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster battery. 4.
Vehicle care Towing 181 Towing the vehicle with allwheel drive system Towing the vehicle Towing the vehicle with front wheel drive system If you need to have your vehicle towed, please use our service network or professional towing company. Flat-bed equipment is the best method of towing the vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) system to avoid any damage. If flatbed equipment is not available, use a towing dolly to tow the vehicle as illustrated below.
182 Vehicle care Please observe the following procedures when towing a vehicle: ■ No passenger should remain in the vehicle being towed. ■ Release the parking brake of the towed vehicle and place the transmission gear in neutral. ■ Switch on the hazard warning lights. Caution If you tow the vehicle equipped with the all wheel drive (AWD) system while front or rear tyres are rolling on the road, the drive system in the vehicle could be severely damaged.
Vehicle care Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper. Transmission in neutral. Switch on the hazard warning flashes on both vehicles. Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer. To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the air recirculation and close the windows.
184 Vehicle care Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Insert cap at the bottom and engage cap. Appearance care Exterior care Locks The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop.
Vehicle care Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision. Do not use hard objects to remove spots of tar. Use tar removal spray on painted surfaces. Exterior lights Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.
186 Vehicle care Liquid gas system 9 Danger Liquid gas is heavier than air and can collect in sink points. Take care when performing work at the underbody in a pit. For painting work and when using a drying booth at a temperature above 60 °C, the liquid gas tank must be removed. Do not make any modifications to the liquid gas system. Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.
