WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip ove rwith the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jac katthe appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
The following must be observed when raising
the vehicle:
R to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-
specific jack that has been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. If the jack is
used incorrectly, it could tip over while the
vehicle is raised.
R the jack is designed only to raise and hold
the vehicle for a short time while a wheel
is being changed. It is not suited for per-
forming maintenance work under the vehi-
cle.
R avoid changing the wheel on uphill and
downhill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, secure it from
rolling away by applying the parking brake
and inserting wheel chocks. Never disen-
gage the parking brake while the vehicle is
raised.
R the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a
large, load-bearing underlay must be used.
On a slippery surface, a non-slip underlay
must be used, e.g. rubber mats.
R do not use wooden blocks or similar
objects as a jack underlay.O therwise, the
jack will not be able to achieve its load-
bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
R make sure tha tthe distance between the
underside of the tyres and the ground does
not exceed 3 cm.
R never place your hands or feet under the
raised vehicle. R
never lie under the raised vehicle.
R never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.

when the vehicle is raised.
R make sure that no persons are present in
the vehicle when the vehicle is raised. X

pletely. Jacking points (example: Coupé)
