Warning triangle
The warning triangle is used to warn other road
users of a stationary vehicle.
Storage and folding up
Lift the floor hatch (or push the rear part of
the luggage compartment floor forwards in
models with a jointed floor and then lift the
lower floor) and remove the warning triangle.
Take the warning triangle from the case, fold
out and assemble the two loose sides.
Fold out the warning triangle's support legs.
Follow the regulations for the use of a warning
triangle. Position the warning triangle in a suita-
ble place with regard to traffic.
Ensure the warning triangle and its case are
properly secured in the cargo area after use.

Jack*
Use the jack to raise the car when changing a
wheel.
Only use the original jack when fitting a spare
wheel or when changing between summer and
winter wheels. The jack's thread must always be
well greased.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack* must be stored in the
intended location in the car's cargo area
when not in use.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa-
sional, short-term use, such as when chang-
ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-
ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for the
specific car model may be used to raise the
car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or
for a longer time than is required just to
change a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-
ommended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the equip-
ment.
