Lowering the vehicle
Turn the crank of the jack counterclockwise
until the vehicle is once again
standing firmly on the ground.
Place the jack to one side.

Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a
crosswise pattern in the sequence
indicated (1 to 5). The tightening torque
must be 110 lb-ft (150 Nm).
Turn the jack back to its initial position and
store it together with the rest of the tirechange
tool kit in the stowage well under
the trunk floor.
When you are driving with the emergency
spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure
monitoring system cannot function
reliably. Only restart the tire pressure
monitoring system when the defective
wheel has been replaced with a new wheel.
All mounted wheels must be equipped with
functioning sensors and the defective
wheel should no longer be in the vehicle.
