R
Use only the bulb types specified here.
R To prevent a short-circuit, switch off the
lights before changing a bulb.
R Only hold bulbs with a clean, lint-free cloth.
R Do not work with wet or greasy fingers.
R If the new bulb still does not light up, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
R Have the following bulbs changed at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre:
- the additional turn signal lamps in the
exterior mirrors
- the turn signal lamp* (vehicles with ligh t
package*)
- the third brake lamp
- the front foglamps
- the bi-xenon bulb s
- the licence plate lighting
i Due to the location of the front head -
lamps, it is best to have the bulbs changed at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g.
a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
i Have the headlamp setting checked reg-
ularly at a qualified specialist workshop ,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Changing the front bulbs

Place the warning triangle (Y page 232) or
warning lamps at a suitable distance.
Observe legal requirements. G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise and hol d
the vehicle for a short time while a whee l
is being changed.
If you are carrying out work on the vehicle,
you must use stands.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm ,
non-slip and level surface. Do not us e
wooden blocks or similar objects as a jac k
underlay. Otherwise the jack will not be
able to achieve its load-bearing capacit y
due to the restricted height.
Do not start the engine at any time while a
wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is bein g
supported by the jack. If you do not raise
the vehicle as described, it could slip off the
jack (e.g. if the engine is started or a door or the boot lid/tailgate is opened or closed)
and you could be seriously injured. Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT in outdoor temperatures
down to -20 °C. G
Risk of accident
In the following situations, your safety is at
particular risk and TIREFIT is unable to pro -
vide breakdown assistance:
R if there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm
R if the wheel rim is damaged
R if you have driven at very low tyre pres-
sures or on a flat tyre
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carr y
out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
X Do not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails .
X Remove TIREFIT, the accompanying "max .
80 km/h“ and the electric air pump from
the stowage compartment in the boot floo r
(Saloon) or the luggage compartment floor

Press on/off switch 4on the electric air
pump to I.
The electric air pump is switched on. The
tyre is inflated.
i First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tyre. The
pressure can briefly rise to around 5 bar.
Do not switch off the compressor during
this phase.
X Let the compressor run for five minutes.
The tyre should then have a pressure of at
least 1.8 bar.
! Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than six minutes without a break,
otherwise it may overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached after
five minutes:
X Switch off and disconnect the electric ai r
pump and drive the vehicle forwards or
backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X Remove the TIREFIT filler bottle from th e
electric pump.
X Pump up the tyre again. G
Risk of accident
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not achieved afte r
five minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
If a tyre pressure of 1.8 bar is reached:
X Press on/off switch 4on the electric air
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Disconnect the electric air pump and stow
it away .
X Fold up the warning triangle and stow it
away .
X Pull away immediately.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly
around the tyre.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump. Practical advice

be altered when a "Minispare"/collapsibl e
emergency spare wheel* is fitted. Adapt
your style of driving accordingly.

Risk of accident
If a wheel hub thread is damaged, you mus t
not drive the vehicle any further. Consult a
qualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre or Service
24h for this purpose. In particular, work rel-
evant to safety or on safety-related systems
must be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. G
Risk of accident
Only use wheel bolts that have bee n
designed for the wheel and the vehicle. For
safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom -
mends that you only use wheel bolts which
have been approved for Mercedes-Benz
vehicles. Other bolts could work loose .
Do not tighten the wheel bolts completel y
while the vehicle is still jacked up. The vehi -
cle could topple off the jack.
X Clean the wheel and wheel hub contact
surfaces. X
Place the "Minispare" emergency spare
wheel* or the spare wheel onto the wheel
hub and push it on.

X Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a cross-
wise pattern in the sequence indica-
ted (1 to5 ). The tightening torque must
be 130 Nm. G
Risk of accident
Have the tightening torque checked imme-
diately after a wheel is changed. The wheel s
could work loose if they are not tightened
to a tightening torque of 130 Nm.Practical advice
