Changing a tire 
Light-emitting diodes LEDs 
Light-emitting diodes installed behind 
translucent lenses serve as the light 
source for many of the controls and dis-
plays in your vehicle. The concept 
behind their operation is related to that 
employed for lasers.
Do not remove the covers, and 
never stare into the unfiltered light 
several hours, as irritation of the iris 
could result.

Safety precautions to observe in 
the event of a flat and during all 
tire changes: 
Park the vehicle as far as possible from 
passing traffic. Park on a firm, flat, sur-
face. Switch on the hazard warning 
flashers. 
Turn the steering wheel to the straight-
ahead position, remove the key and 
engage the steering lock. Shift into 1st 
or reverse, selector lever in Park with 
automatic transmission, and engage 
the handbrake. 
All passengers should be outside the 
vehicle and well away from your imme-
diate working area, behind a guardrail, 
for instance. 
If a warning triangle or portable hazard 
warning lamp is required, set it up on 
the roadside at an appropriate distance 
from the rear of the vehicle. Comply 
with all safety guidelines and regula-
tions. 
Change the wheel only on a level, firm 
surface which is not slippery. The vehi-
cle or the jack could slip to the side if 
you attempt to raise the vehicle on a 
soft or slippery surface such as snow, 
ice, tiles, etc. 
Position the jack on a firm support sur-
face. 
Do not place wooden blocks or similar 
objects under the jack. If this is done, 
the jack might not be able to reach its 
full support capacity because of the 
limited height. To avoid serious or fatal 
injury: never lie under the vehicle, and 
never start the engine while it is sup-
ported by the jack.
