Tighten the wheel bolts until they are fin-
ger-tight.
X Unscrew the centring pin.
X Tighten the last wheel bolt until it is finger-
tight.
Lowering the vehicle X
Lower the vehicle. To do this, turn the crank
of the jack anti-clockwise until the vehicle
is once again standin gfirmly on the ground.
X Place the jack to one side. X
Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in across-
wise patter ninthe sequence indica-
ted (0046 to0086). The tightening torque is
130 Nm. G
Risk of accident
Have the tightening torque checked immedi-
ately after awheel is changed. The wheels
could work loose if they are not tightened to
at orque of 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position and
store it together with the rest of the vehicle
tool kit in the stowage well under the boot
floor.
Vehicles with the "Minispare" emergency
spare wheel*:
X Transport the faulty wheel in the boot.
i When you are driving with the "Minispare"
emergenc yspare wheel* fitted, the tyre
pressure loss warning system* cannot

The MOExtended run-flat system may only be
used in conjunction with the activated tyre
pressure loss warning system.
! The maximum permissible distanc ewhich
can be driven in run-flat mode depends on
the load in the vehicle. It is 80 km if the
vehicle is partially laden and 30 km if fully
laden. 272

The maximum permissible distanc
ewhich
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted
from the moment the tyre pressure loss
warning appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
You must not exceed amaximum speed of
80 km/h. G
Risk of accident
The handling characteristics of your vehicle
deteriorate in run-flat mode, for example:
R when cornering
R when braking
R when acceleratin grapidly
Adapt your driving style accordingly and avoid
sudden changes in direction and sudden
acceleration ,aswell as driving over obstacles
(i.e. kerbs, potholes), and driving off-road.
This is particularly the case when the vehicle
is heavily laden.
The maximum permissible distanc ethat can
be driven in run-flat mode depends to alarge
exten tonthe loads placed on the vehicle. It
can be shorter due to high speeds, aheavy
load, sudden acceleration and/or manoeu-
vring, the road surface condition, outside tem-
perature, etc.,orf urther,ifyou drive carefully
and conservatively.
Do not continue to drive in run-flat mode if:
R you hear banging noises.
R the vehicle start stoshake.
R you see smoke and smell rubber.
R ESP ®
is intervening constantly.
R there are tears in the sidewalls of the tyre.
After driving in run-flat mode, you must have
the wheel(s) checked for damage at aquali-
fied specialist workshop which has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. The faulty tyre must be
replaced in every case.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out
at
aq ualified specialist workshop.
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres*: when
replacing one or all tyres, make sure that you
only use tyres marked MOExtended and of
the specified size for the vehicle. Battery
Notes on the vehicle battery
In order for the battery to achieve the maxi-
mum possible service life, it must alway sbe
sufficiently charged.
Have the battery charge checked more fre-
quently if you use the vehicle mainly for short
trips or if you leave it standin gidle for a
lengthy period.
To prevent damage from corrosion, only
replace the battery with one that has acentral
ventilation cover.
Consult aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre if
you wish to leave your vehicle parked up for
al ong period of time. G
Risk of injury
Comply with safety precautions and take pro-
tective measures when handling batteries. Risk of explosion
Fire, naked flames and
smokin
gare prohibited
when handling the battery.
Avoid creatin gsparks. Battery acid is caustic.
Avoid contact with the skin,
eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protective
clothing, in particular
gloves, an apron and
aface
mask.
Immediately rinse acid
splashes off with clean Battery

ded* (tyres with run-flat characteristics)
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. Information aboutt yres
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz,c harac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tyre dimensional variations could
cause the tyres to come into contact with
the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
i Further information aboutt yres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. i
You will find atable of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
You will find further information aboutt yre
pressures in the "Operation" section
(Y page 186).
i Notes on vehicle tyres:
Always
R fit tyres of the same size on agiven axle
(left/right)
R fit the same type of tyres on your vehicle
at ag iven time (summer tyres, winter
tyres, MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles with the MOExtended run-flat
system are not equipped with the TIREFIT
kit. 63
Therefore, it is recommended that you
additionally equip your vehicle with the
TIREFIT kit* when fitting tyres that do not
feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter
tyres.
i ATIREFIT kit is available from any quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-
