Laden vehicles are only allowed to be raised using wheel
lifts as main support. If wheels need to be removed, it is
also permissible to lift laden vehicles by means of pris
matic supports under the rear axle tube. If this is not
possible because work is to be performed on rear axle, the
load must be removed from the vehicle.
If vehicle is jacked up with a workshop jack in order to work
underneath it, it must be securely supported using suitable
stands.

The anti-theft coding electronically prevents unauthorized per

vehicle. The anti-theft codes are also called radio codes or se
curity codes. Security code means that each unit with an anti-theft
coding is programmed with its own code number. This security
code is not active when leaving the factory. The security code is
found on the unit card, if fitted. If the unit card is not fitted, the
security code can be read from a central database using vehicle

If possible, the test should be completed outdoors following a
road test. If this is not possible for various reasons (weather,
excessive noise in residential areas), then the test can be car
ried out in a workshop.
To reduce noise levels, the bonnet should be closed on first
